game last maybe seeds supposed
Maybe that's the way a game between the eight- and nine- seeds is supposed to go. Right down to the last shot.
beating game great retire
I can't retire after this year. I could, but I can't because I'm not going to let this game get the better of me. I am beating this game. I am not going to go out sour. I've had too many great times in this game. I'm not going out sour. I'm going to go out on my terms, not the game's terms.
game shows
This was a heartbreaker for the kids. But this game shows that we can play with anyone.
game level maybe saw team teams took
This is the team that took me when probably no one else was interested. Maybe there were other teams interested, but a team like this saw in me something that I didn't see in myself and got me to play a game I didn't know I could and at a level I never thought I could.
actual bad came contract decline declined entertainment excitement fans game gary interest itself lost seen skill starting tv watched
I think the fans lost interest starting 10 years ago when Gary Bettman came in, and I think everyone who has watched the game has seen the game decline not only in popularity, but the actual game itself has declined in skill and excitement and fan entertainment value. Something's got to be done. We don't have a TV contract because it's 'a bad game.
contract game players teams
There are teams that are going to fold, players aren't going to be... look at all of the players who are out of the game now because of contract demands.
game good hit nick short
My personality is Nick Price, but my game is not Nick Price. I hit it long, and I hit good irons, but my short game is putrid. It's putrid. But it's getting better.
bad four games next three time week work
I just feel bad for my kids. They work so hard. What we really need is some practice. We had three games this week and we've got four next week. There's no time for practice.
game half realized took year
I realized I wasn't who I thought I was, ... I wasn't Brett Hull at 30 or 35 even. I was 41 years old and after a year and a half layoff, I didn't have what it took to play in the new game that was so exciting.
coming fans games quit
The fans are the most important part of the game. Without them, there is no game. They are going to quit coming to the games if we don't make the game better, more entertaining.
baseball coach crap game gives hockey ice markets national nobody past remember start strike teams themselves time viable
They'll put themselves back 20 years, ... If they think they can successfully ice 30 teams in the markets they're in right now and have a viable product, it's just not going to happen. Remember baseball? Baseball is just getting back to where it was before the '94 strike - and that's the national past time down here. Nobody gives a crap about hockey down here - nobody. I coach kids' hockey down here and you can start to see the disinterest in the game here with the kids.
committed difficult feelings fight game mental played team true within
The mental part is hardest, because I still think the game should be played a completely different way. But I've committed myself to play within our team structure, so to do that and to fight your true feelings is very difficult at times.
among died few fight giant legacy lives lost movement protect taught
We lost a giant of the conservation movement when Gaylord died a few years ago, but his legacy lives on among those of us he taught to fight to protect the environment.
couple heads held lost time
We lost a couple going into that first game. We got confused. This time we held our heads high.
