Roots is a big, strong guy. And he's going to figure it out in the physical situations. And it's nice to see him learning and getting better.

I've made a career writing about fictitious anti-heroes. To create these worlds, I've spent a lot of time with active members on both sides of the law. And if I had to pick the most interesting of the two, the choice is obvious - we all love the guys in black.

I could ask Phil to go on conditioning (assignment) and he could say yes or no. This way, I don't have to ask him. If I want to send him down, (I'll) send him down. We have two (goalies) playing in Omaha and 20 in the National Hockey League that could move here tomorrow. We're as good as our weakest player and the other night he was our weakest player. It's not acceptable.

I navigate through the world with the excitement and determination of a child. That's why I'm an artist. I'd die without an outlet for expression. Unfortunately, more often than not, that childlike energy is the maturity level I bring to many circumstances.

I think if our new direction in all our relationships is friendship, compassion, and enjoyment, we will easily be able to break our old cycle of bad habits and develop something deeper and more meaningful

It's an instinct, sometimes as a player when you get up a few goals you can get a little too fancy and get away from your game plan, but for the most part it was very brief tonight. We kept the puck going ahead tonight. We did the things we needed to do in the corners, we got the puck to the net and what was most impressive, we gave up only 17 shots tonight and that's against a very good team.
