I don't aspire to have high approval ratings. I aspire, in light of my two predecessors, to be the most honest governor I can be. I'd rather focus on honesty than popularity.
We thought about switching every day and creating new lines but then we decided not to, ... The whole idea here was the introduction of some concepts of play. Rather then have them worrying about adjusting to new guys every day, we wanted them to concentrate and focus on trying to absorb the system we want to play.
During the year we'll start thinking about the dream lines, ... We seemed to have come up with some good lines here although after two games in 2002 we switched them all around.
We had a lot of guys who wanted to play easy.

One of the silly ones, in my opinion, is the automatic (penalty) for flipping the puck inadvertently up in the stands. We all know, and so do the officials, when it's intentional, so call the intentional ones.
You can't draw that up on a chalk board. We have to compete better.
