capable certainly close consistent exciting guys help last line mike people player players production realize rewarded successful team training valuable
Mike showed that he was a capable scorer last year. He's probably been our most consistent player from day one of training camp. He's one of those guys who is undervalued by people away from our team, but who the players and the people who are close to our team realize how valuable he is. He does all the little things out there that help a line be successful and help a team be successful. He's certainly getting rewarded for it from a production standpoint, which is exciting for him.

Our power play was great tonight, and it was a big part of the game. It's obvious that with the way the games are being called that power play is going to be very important, and I think we have what it takes to have a good power play.

Our team is at our best when we control territory and that's what we didn't do in the last few minutes.

I think Dina's very, very good, but I'm just not sure how she beats Jim Gibbons, ... I'm not going to say she can't, but I don't see how she brings the kind of Democrat who will vote for George Bush to the table.
