Famous Quotes & Sayings

Michael Campbell

I've beaten him -- that gives me an extra edge.

Roger Federer

Josh Miley

That's just extra motivation for me. I want to prove the coaches wrong. I've beaten a couple kids who were ranked in the Brakeman, but I like the underdog role anyway. There is less pressure this way.

Alton Merkerson

As strange as it sounds, Roy wasn't motivated for those two fights. Roy is either self-motivated or he's not motivated at all. For those fights, he was bored. He was tired of pleasing other people. The second Tarver fight; he figured he'd beaten Tarver the first time when he was weak and had trouble making weight so now it would be easy. I didn't get what I should have gotten out of him in camp. And with Glen Johnson, it was the same thing. You can't make a fighter train if he doesn't want to. He might come to the gym but he won't work right while he's there.

Ben Braun

We felt if we had beaten UCLA, we would have won this thing (the regular-season title). So it's probably fitting that we're playing. I just hope we get our legs back.

Chris Davis

I've really seen myself as a top scorer but more as role player. With my speed, I've gotten a lot of chances at the net, getting close in on the net, beating defensemen wide and getting breakaways. I like to call myself sort of a gritty player. I use my speed to get in there in the corners, but also I like to show a little bit of grit, get in there and throw the body around a little bit. I'm not the biggest guy out there, but I still like to throw a couple of hits.

Mike McShane

We did a lot better in the second on defense. In the beginning we did awful. We were throwing the puck away and they were beating us on the one-on-ones. The guys were playing really sloppy and then they settled down. I think the centers helped out by coming back. We moved the puck a little quicker.

Malik Rose

You got two legs and two feet, a beating heart and a brain, you're equipped to play defense. I think this team definitely has what it takes to play defense. We just have to check what's inside our shirts to see if we're going to sustain that.

Bonnie Reed
