Man, I thought we'd play better, but it's a new week and a new opponent. I would never have thought that we wouldn't force a turnover, and that's something we've got to do against Pittsburgh. But we have to be patient. If you try to do too much, you'll make a mistake and hurt the team.

Manny was great for us again tonight and we made the most of our opportunities. We only had two scoring chances in the third period and that was two too many. I guess it's the mysteries of sports. That's a very good hockey team fighting for a playoff spot and we just seem to have their number.

Ronald Reagan

Many Americans today, just as they did 200 years ago, feel burdened, stifled, and sometimes even oppressed by government that has grown too large, too bureaucratic, too wasteful, too unresponsive, too uncaring about people and their problems. I believe we can embark on a new age of reform in this country and an era of national renewal, an era that will reorder the relationship between citizen and government, that will make government again responsive to people, that will revitalize the values of family, work, and neighborhood and that will restore our private and independent social institutions.

It happens every year. We faced Michigan and they had the No. 1 rushing defense. Then you go against Iowa, they had the No. 1 rush defense, then you go against Alabama, they so-called had the No. 1 rush defense. It's nothing we've never faced. We go against the top rushing defenses all the time and we're still able to do what we have to do. It's just another big challenge for us.

Mark Hughes

It has been a huge effort by everybody. And to have earned the points we needed against a Chelsea team who are great champions is even more satisfying. A Uefa Cup place will help us in the recruitment of new players next season and I don't expect any of our current squad to want to leave now.

It has been a fight against the clock all the way.
