We're stalled. When you see oil prices back up to their high, you've seen gold hovering around $600 US, people are making some really good money and I think there's a lot of people who are just taking the opportunity to crystallize some gains which is keeping the market at bay a little bit right now.

Sean Miller

We're going to try our best to provide as much help to the guy guarding him on that area of the floor.

Dave Tippett

When I was in the IHL there were a few teams that used to do that. Some goaltenders just have a knack for breakaways and it can give your team a little bit of a boost. You have to know your personnel before you can make those changes and obviously Craig thinks Morrison is the guy on breakaways.

John Sulston

When it came to choice of subjects, science was obvious - since I was uninterested in anything else - but a decision that caused consternation in some eyes was my demand to take biology for A-level.

When it became obvious that they were one of the teams that we could be playing (in the regional) we made sure to scout a couple of their games. Jared Wood is a solid player.

Doug Wilson

When we drafted him, people said he was probably the most ready for the NHL. But that to me was a bonus. It wasn't something we factored into when we decided to pick him. But he obviously played against men last year and played in the World Championships for the Czech team, and the thing that impressed me when he came in this summer is that he tested like a man in his physical testing. It transfers over to his game on the ice. He's a very mature player.

Timothy Adams

Jim Calhoun

Very few players are able to maintain the pace he's on. I don't think anybody I've ever had can get as hot as he can get. Ben (Gordon) and Ray (Allen) are probably better shooters, but nobody gets as hot as he does. He's done that against a whole bunch of folks. It's not the first time.

James Williams

World consumption is growing at a very rapid pace and the time lag to drill new wells to add to capacity leaves us in a precarious position for the next year or so.

Courtney Barnett

When I was on the road with Billy Bragg, it was cool because I was doing the whole thing solo and travel a lot by myself, which I quite like. I mean, I love being with friends, but it's kind of nice having that alone time.
