I've spoken to you after 28 games, and there was one game I was disappointed and I said that. Everybody makes a big deal (about it), I coached him (Marbury) for the next two days just like I always coached him. He's done what I asked and tries to win the game.

The thing that always makes me partial to guys like him, all hockey players, is all they ever talk about is team. They room together. They eat together. And he's always been somebody everybody mentions as being such a special leader.

Everybody I know that's been associated with him liked him as a kid. We all make mistakes.

Everybody counts how many lineups we've had, but every day when I go into the dressing room I don't know who's going to be healthy and that impacts the lineup.

I think everybody on this team cares deeply about him. We've got to just be supportive.

I think once we struggle it seems that it just snowballs, ... Our young kids continue to play hard; they're kind of fearless. I think everybody else seems like they're just afraid to make a mistake.

It depends on who the guys are. I've heard Michael do it. Because everybody knew he tried to do everything the right way all the time I think they could handle it.

I don't know what people can do yet in a lot of cases. What I'm trying to get across to everybody is, this is what we value as a group, and this is how we can win games. We're trying to see who's on the same page.
best career everybody guys hold looks physically shooter special spend
It's so special when guys spend their whole career with one team. (Reggie) still looks like he can play to me. I think everybody used to say that physically he wouldn't hold up. He's amazing. He's the best shooter I've ever been around.
ball everybody gave great moved nicest open people playing quality road shots tempo together trying win
It's a quality win for us on the road. We moved the ball great and got a lot of open shots because we gave the ball up. Controlling the tempo on the road is the way we've got to play ... You look at the stat sheet, and the nicest thing for me is I feel like a lot of people are playing together and trying to make everybody better.
cares coach everybody good help knows players respect supportive wants
They respect Mr. Dolan and know he cares and wants to do everything he can to help us win. But it's up to us to coach better and the players to play better. Everybody knows how supportive he is, and I think that's a good thing.
everybody special
He's always been someone everybody mentions as a special player.
everybody few people quality retire screen society work worry
He is one of the few people that I don't have to worry about his workmanship. If everybody did the quality of work that Earl did, we would have a different society than we have. And he's not going to retire before he does my screen closure.
buy coach everybody move responsibility
My responsibility is to try to coach everybody and try to make everybody better. And when you find out that there's some that don't want to buy in, then you've really got to move on.
