John Marks Quotations

We found some residents that thought they should qualify for 'American Idol,' ... We had a lot of fun.

We brought the American flag back to Teheran with honor but without chauvinism, and in an atmosphere of mutual respect. What we can do is help to change the atmosphere. We can change the climate, we can create some of the openings. But if the governments are not interested, nothing is going to happen in the end.

Obviously, building additional housing in the urban infill of downtown ... is something the (City) Commission and I believe is good,

I don't how they do it. It's the start of the playoffs and we had guys going up to the (American Hockey League), and they had guys coming down.

If we win one game, the difference in confidence will be huge.

There is no excuse for getting outworked. We should have had 45 shots on goal instead of 31. You have to win your home games. Our power play was fine, but Parley was the difference.

He's had times where he has played well and, in a couple of the losses, where we played well, I thought he's played in a couple of soft goals. But, right now, he's our man, and the pressure is on.

It comes and goes. You have to grind and grind and sometimes you catch a break and everything changes.

It happened so fast that I really can't remember anything.

I went and hunted down the goal judge. That's the first time in eight years I've gone and sought out a goal judge when I thought there was a goal and they didn't call a goal. I know it was a goal because I saw it on TV, and I saw it on tape.

I was really happy because it showed we have some real hard core hockey fans in Greenville. If we have to come back and play on Wednesday, I hope even more people will come out.

I would hope as part of the exhibit we can make sure our relationship (with France) becomes known by our citizens and the residents of Frenchtown, ... The tourism and pure beauty of this exhibit make it enough to have in our community. But the spin-offs make it even better.

We really turned it around in the second period. I could see things were starting to turn our way.

We are committed to presenting a high-level, informative conference the likes of which has never been produced in San Francisco.

We played well tonight against a very good hockey team. We didn't give up a heck of a lot.

We want to try to stay sharp and try to play hard so it becomes a natural thing for you. You want to keep competing all the time.

This was a really big two points. We're going on a tough trip, one where we're going to play some really tough teams, so this was big.

Unbelievable. We set a record for most points in a season and finished third in our division. What does that tell you about our division?

There's nothing that Glendale or El Mirage or any other city can provide for me that I don't already have. Every time you get involved with a city, your taxes go up. I'd rather be part of the county.

They've been very strong. They've been aggressive. I think they know they have to make a name for themselves, and they don't have a lot of time to do it.

They did their job by winning the two games on their ice. Now it's up to us to do our job in our building. Tonight we got a start.

This is a very tight team. When we play (tonight), we'll have our 14 guys, they'll have a full roster and they'll have four or five healthy scratches sitting up in the stands watching.

It's been a very successful program for us, We would prefer to have the opportunity to identify and hire more individuals on a local basis than we would to rely on a third-party source to get through the course of a busy time period.

It's been a combination. We're not scoring. Then, if you don't work and play well, you're going to lose. I'm obviously disappointed we have gone 2-5-1 in our past eight games and 0-5-1 in our last six. I thought we played well enough to win at least two or three of those games.

Their goalie played well, there's no question about it. But, we should be so hungry to play, and we weren't, and that's not good enough. They were playing their third game in three days, and I'm not making excuses, but we need more work. We need to play more.

I'll make the adjustment to be ready the following night so the player gets an opportunity.

Cam Ellsworth absolutely earned the shutout. He played really well, and I couldn't be happier for him. He has to gain confidence from this and the players should be confident in him. I know they like him because he's a very hard worker.

The first five or six minutes of the game, we really took it to them. The biggest difference all year between our team and theirs has been the power play and they certainly got it clicking tonight.
