Bill Guerin Time Quotations

We have to be better. We as players get the time out there, and we have to make it work. I think at times we just have to trust ourselves more and just make good hockey plays.

There's no reason why we can't score, too. And I think having that scoring depth would be a great thing for our team. This is why I play ... this time of year ... so whatever role I have, I'm going to play as hard as I can.

People bet all the time in every aspect of life, and most of that is legal gambling. If you're trying to say our sport has a problem with it, I don't think it does.

This is not a public-relations stunt. We've put a lot of work into this proposal and this isn't something we came up with overnight. We felt that we had to do something. We're getting down to crunch time and since the league isn't doing anything, we felt like we'd better do something before the whole season goes down the tubes. We've waited long enough for them to try to step up.

This is just window dressing unless (the owners) have completely changed their philosophy, but I don't expect that. I just don't understand where they're coming from. We've told them time after time. It's just about one thing. And I think it's become quite personal for them to crush the union and become successful that way. How it affects the game doesn't really matter.
