Mark Johnson Time Quotations

We're gonna stay with what we normally do. We're gonna try not to confuse our kids. This is one ballgame; we want to be solid in what we're doing defensively. It's probably the only time we're going to face this type of offense all year.

She's taken advantage of her opportunities. She played well last week at North Dakota for us. The big thing is she's adjusting well to the college game quickly and is building confidence each time out on the ice. I hope she continues to improve. She's a smart player.

My dad played here in the '50s, I spent a lot of time in this area, my grandparents lived here, I played for the (Minnesota) North Stars for a short time and my dad won a Stanley Cup in this state. It's a place I'm very familiar with and that's why playing against Minnesota in Minneapolis makes the afternoon very special.

I think any time you have a loss, it's important to follow it with a win. Any loss shakes your confidence. It was great to see how Pete did.

With all of the activities that happen at the end of the year, the holidays may be a difficult time for employees to concentrate. But with a little effort, by both employers and employees, the holidays can stay as productive as the rest of the year and help the company end the year on a positive note.

Well, we've been pretty consistent with our statements and what we want to do as a group, and that gets better each weekend. We've certainly made some strides in the early part of September to where we are now, but now it's time to elevate the bar a little bit more. The team has done some real nice things up to this point, and we've won a lot of hockey games, but now you got to keep watering it and put a little fertilizer on it and grow with it.

There are parts of that policy that haven't been reviewed for many, many years. It's time we take a look at what other cities are doing, see what information we can find and see what parts of our policy are outdated.

We work on time clock management every day in practice, but tonight, we didn't handle the situation very well. Some of the decisions we made at the end are the same ones that have been hurting us during this stretch of bad luck we're having.

The Government can't change the law to make it an offence when it wasn't an offence at the time of the alleged incident.

At this time of the year, any time you can play at home, whether it's your playoff games or an NCAA game, I think it's a benefit to your hockey club. If you get that home game, whether it's some years maybe at the Kohl Center or maybe at the Cap Ice Center or at the Eagle's Nest (in Verona), it's a good thing.

It's the first time I've ever had one. Kids had some angles on him, he just outran them. ... You're going to see some big runs like that before he graduates.

I'm sure Kyle wants to win every match he goes out, but this was a dual meet loss. When the time comes at the end of the year during big-time matches, he'll be ready.

I noticed, a long time ago, you can engage kids a lot more with a screen. We started using computers in the classroom around 1980, but this class really started when we came to this building about 11 years ago. It was an experiment, and I have been teaching this class (advanced communications) ever since.

I hope it means a lot to the team. It's the first time in the history of our program that we've won a championship. It's a credit to our players and a credit to the players that have been here in the past. ... It's a nice piece of hardware to have, but the prize at the end of the journey is bigger than that.

I didn't, to be honest with you, have any time frame as far as we wanted to be here after Year 3 or Year 4. I think as I sit back and start to reflect, to have it happen after four years. ... that's pretty quick.

All I knew about Madison at the time was the bombing of Sterling Hall. I thought to myself 'great, this is going to be a hippie place.' But of course my views have changed.
