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.

We're extremely proud of what he's accomplished so far. If he were to get drafted that would just be added excitement to everything that he's accomplished. You just hope for the best. He played in one of the top conferences in the nation and was a starter. He's a very intelligent young man and works hard. He has all the factors of what it takes. I think he's also got an upside to him where he's continuing to develop. He definitely hasn't peaked with his potential. I think he has room to grow as a football player.

Jermaine Spencer

When we went in the locker room, we said we weren't pushing. We weren't getting as hard after them as we should. In the second half, we brought the fight to them. Instead of backing down and letting them do what they want to do, we made them step up and play -- play defense and make tougher shots.

Sam Taylor-Johnson

Chris Lynch

We've always reached the hardcover buyer more than the paperback buyer.

When we came back from the bowl game, we didn't reach our potential like we should have last year. Weight could have been a part of it, so all the coaches wanted us to drop weight, get stronger, get quicker. We definitely had the intensity to do that this year during winter.

Bob Collins

We've asked all our section pros to put their program up on the Web site and I'm really, really excited the way they're starting to get involved.

Natalie Purcell

We've always had good second halves, but we always start slow. It was nice to have a good first half.

Jim Hendry

We've always had a lot of respect for him. He pitched so well against us for Houston. He went out there last year with some discomfort and gutted out his starts in Boston. He's a winning-type guy. He's a winning pitcher who, when he's out there, he wins you games.

Theresa Adams

When we were letting the starters sit on the bench, to see what was going on on the floor ... that's just how the other part of the team feels when they're on the bench, wanting to get in. And after they saw all of that, they came alive to realize that they (would) rather be on the floor than on the bench.

Julien Dray

When youths take to the street, you don't know what can happen. By digging in its heels, the government is creating the conditions for troubles (that can have) dramatic consequences.

Suzanne Collins

If I have to pick one story that most influenced 'The Hunger Games,' it would be the Greek myth of Theseus, which I read when I was about 8 years old.

Jan Smith

Whatever brands youths smoke will include the leading brands on the market.

Bruno Julliard

I think the prime minister didn't understand anything about what is going on. He wants to divide students by explaining generally that students today are preventing suburban youths from finding a job.

I think supporting youths and the senior-citizen population is important. The people in the middle can fight for themselves a little better.

Bentzi Lieberman

I say to my friends in Hebron that they should have done everything to get rid of those youths who are eradicating any possibility of having people listen to their very justified complaints.
