beat games great locations rivalry though time won
This is going be a rivalry for a very long time because of the locations of the teams, but I've done my part to get the rivalry going. We've had great games with them, even though we won the series, and I know they want to beat us as much as we want to beat them.
close games
We know what to do in close games now.
games heat natural regional rivalry
It's a divisional rivalry and a regional rivalry, and it's natural that things are going to heat up. The games have been very competitive.
feels opportunity
It feels good. It's been a little frustrating (not playing), but you have to do what you can when you get an opportunity like this.
aspects trying
We're trying to take all the traditional aspects out of tea.

He has a second-to-none work ethic. He takes very good care of his body. He's the first guy on the ice and the last guy off.

We've heard about the type of crowds they get there, and I think it's going to be exciting to play in front of a large crowd with that type of energy. It's great for our league.

What does a Northern European, Native American and Southeast Asian mixture look like? That's a fair question. We're told the photographs are extremely helpful.

We would go to the coffeehouse on campus, and there wasn't much of a tea selection. When we went to the tea houses, we found them to be mostly formal and food-focused.
assigned chance excited game guys might process recruit sharks talent
We're excited that the Sharks made us a part of this process and for the chance to see some of their young talent play in game situations. Not only will we be able to get to know some of the guys that might be assigned to us in the future, but we'll also be able to get a first-hand look at guys that we might want to recruit in years to come.

When he is announced, the crowd really goes nuts.
hotel months people
A lot of people who've had hotel reservations for months have had them canceled.
invented
As long as they invented football, I'd be OK.

Gardner is a good player, and he'll help a team. He didn't get many opportunities in Idaho, but he will in Stockton, and he will take advantage of them.
