Alain Vigneault

We're going to see probably one of the hardest (working), most physical teams in the league coming in. They don't score a lot of goals, but they play hard. A lot of times, they don't even want to play the puck, they just want to play the man. It's Calgary, in-your-face, finish-checks hockey. It's going to be a big challenge for us and the bigger the challenge, the bigger we're supposed to respond.

Greg Hawk

We're going to score some runs this year, you can count on that. Timmy is a big key to our club, but we have a really potent offense overall so we'll be quite all right.

Hobbes: What's your score for ZQFMGB? Calvin: 957.

My being a writer and playing Scrabble are connected. If I have a good writing day, I'll take a break and play online Scrabble. My favorite word as a child was 'carrion,' before I knew what it meant.

When you triple our commitments around the world, while at the same time taking the Army from 14 divisions down to 10... and the Air Force from 17 wings to 13 ... and the Navy from well over 400 ships down toward fewer than 300 -- That Mr. Gore, is
