Jeff Ruland Guys Quotations

I've been with these guys for four years and I love them to death. But every day is a new surprise with these guys. I thought it was all behind us, but they still saved one for the end.

If we play like this the rest of the way, we'll be in good shape. We had good intensity and were physical. It wasn't easy. The guys worked their butts off.

It's made my life easier this year. The first three years I had to suffer because they were up and down. They will still come back in spurts and remind me of old times. But we're all on the same page. These guys are focused and they bring it every day.

I think this team wore us down with their size, especially in the second half. We had a period when we got some open looked and missed it. That is when they took the lead and never relinquished it. It says a lot about our guys when a team that size has to play zone against us.

Not a lot of 300-pound guys come to mind.

You don't shoot in the 40s by just throwing it up there. I'm giving you guys a good feeling of New York.
