The only two teams we didn't see were Jefferson and Princeton.

Obviously, there's going to be changes. No one knows what's going to happen.

We're not winning many games, but our effort in practice is there every day. We try to tell the kids every day that we want to get better, and they're doing that. It doesn't reflect in our wins, but it reflects in how hard these guys work every day.

He's got it right. He wants us to play a pressure, puck-control style of game and also take care of our own zone. I think he's going to give the offensive guys the leeway to use their talents, and as a player, that's all you can ask for.

He's both ? a little bit of a players' coach and a little bit of a disciplinarian. You can talk to him, but he'll get on you, too. He does what he has to do as a coach.

JDSU is pleased to introduce these innovative building blocks for the Agile Optical Network. We will continue to build our portfolio addressing the AON, a strategic imperative for the fast, cost effective deployment of IP-based broadband communications services.

We can't give them any easy opportunities because obviously they're going to bury them.

We thought about me making a donation based off the number of goals or points I scored, but I told them I don't have that many stats to make a good donation, so I decided I'd just make it a lump sum.

We just don't know anything. Hopefully (the reports are) all wrong.

You see the playoffs starting and we're not in it; we're in here doing all this stuff. It's hard to be positive right now.

It's a three-game playoff series. We realize how important each one is, but it's kind of like a domino effect. You get the first one, then you knock the second one down and then you get to the third. We know what's at stake. We just have to concentrate on tonight first.

In eight years, there were a lot of memories in this gym. I called a timeout at the end of the game, once I knew we were going to win just to thank my team. They gave an effort for 32 minutes and that's what we needed to do. I'm really proud of them.

I may see every kid hit, maybe, five total shots during a match.

In the summertime, we do a lot of video work. With that, I can show them if their head is moving too far or if the ball position or alignment isn't right.

I don't think there's a problem at all with steroids in the NHL. I can say that.
