Whacked Quotations

We got whacked on the Fed comments (Wednesday), but that reaction doesn't make sense, ... Don't you think if the Fed is hinting that interest rates will go up sooner, that suggests the economy is doing well? I think the comments bode well for the GDP (gross domestic product) report tomorrow and next week's monthly employment report.

Today bonds rallied because of the softer new home sales. Yesterday, bonds fell because the purchasing managers report was too strong. Now we go to Friday and the non-farm payrolls, which is the main part of the economic reporting cycle, and if that number comes in too strong, the bonds get whacked again -- and so do the stocks.

I look at the Tucker incident. That was pretty much one-on-one and he whacked him twice, gets fined and plays the next game. Arty hasn't done anything like this. He just plays hard. That's all we want the league to understand. Yes, he sticks out because he skates, one of the best skaters in the league, and he's big and he's willing. We feel that is a tremendous asset for our team and the league for that type of play to be going on.
