Blocked Quotations | Page 3

They packed it in and played well in front of Huet. But it's not how you start a series, it's how you finish it. Nothing really seemed to go well for us, certainly not on the power play, and not anywhere else. Give their goalie credit, he blocked a lot of shots, but we never were really creative.

They explained that the old ice crushed the new ice, broke it up. Then, it pushed onshore and blocked the road.

They are the most athletic team we're going to play all year and they did a good job of using it tonight. Our guys were looking over their shoulder because they blocked a lot of shots in the first half.

You can't make mistakes against good teams like Grand Junction. We had some dumb mistakes. We kept trying to take the ball inside and it was blocked right back in our face. You can't miss open shots and that's a big part of this game. We had a lot of open shots and we missed a lot of them.

There were more than 100 cars that had blocked off Airport Lane.

There were some real plusses for us. Number one was special teams came up big for us tonight. We got the momentum going the right way, ... We had a blocked punt, special teams was worth about 14 points today. That's something we have to have.

They're a solid team. If anybody watched the McQueen film, they really only gave up 14 points. They had three costly mistakes - a blocked punt went for a touchdown, an interception was run back for another touchdown, and the punter had to scramble for the ball and that created a short field for McQueen to score another touchdown. Take those mistakes away and that was a close game.

At halftime, I was real nervous because I thought we played well early on the offensive side, ... Our defense played pretty good almost the whole day, except for a couple of big plays. But, we couldn't put anything away. Then, we had the blocked field goal again; it was a poor snap and a low kick. We are not making plays when we have to. And that is basically what the whole game boils down to. We had the opportunity to make plays and nobody stepped up and made them.

It's a trip because the roads are all blocked off and you have to be in a private car. It's the only way into West Hollywood. There are triple checkpoints. Not that I'm into the whole star thing. But when you're new to it, it is pretty neat seeing all these people for the first time. The more you're in it, the less affected you are, the less you care who's who.

It wasn't what they did, it was how they did it. They executed very well. And we didn't execute on defense. They blocked us fairly efficiently, and we didn't make plays when we had a chance. It was just a very poor performance from our defensive team. We're going to break it down and look at it every way we possibly can and learn from it and teach from it and then move forward and hope it is just one game.

I told him I was tired, that's the only reason he caught me. I had just run a kickoff back. But it was a big play and the offensive line blocked great.

It's the rule I'm talking about. I know of people who feel frustrated when they find their way blocked by these guys and I understand their feelings.

It still ticks me off. I've never seen a fake punt in the Senior Bowl. It blew my mind. We were going to have a hell of a game and win. They faked a punt and they blocked a field goal, and you're not supposed to do either of them.

It?s great to have that size on the back end, but I guess that?s stating the obvious. Tonight was an example of how far B.J. has come. Last year, he blocked a shot and still found a way to foul the guy. His positioning is a lot better now, and it?s made him much more dangerous.

Congress was acutely aware that for more than a decade before the passage of these laws, every attempt to close or realign a major base in this country had been blocked by Congress itself or by the courts.

The blocked extra points were huge, ... Especially the one in overtime.

The basic idea that marketing is wrong at its core is one of the main reasons why innovation seems blocked and unpredictable.

That is the first blocked punt I've ever had I mean ever. I just came through free between the guard and the snapper and just blocked it. On the fumble, I stripped it but at first I was mad because I thought I had missed the tackle.

It's been fascinating working on a set in New York. Just to be in the thick of it is really interesting, because on any given day you're having to react to what New York is offering, if that's a thunderstorm or blocked traffic or a bunch of noise.

It seemed like they blocked about 15 shots. We count on (Wesley) Harper and (Jonathan) Boyd to get to the basket on people, and they just couldn't get to the basket tonight.

I've kind of blocked it out, but a good friend affectionately reminded me that yes, I was a dork. I was not a cool kid in high school.

I've haven't looked at the film, but for a point guard especially, it seems unreal. I know we blocked a lot of shots, but I'm not sure if that total is right. If it is, that is pretty impressive.

I've had some talks with Andreas and his agent. Andreas played very well for us. My feeling would be we would like to have him back next year. He's really solid, gives us size, he's a good penalty killer, and that was a tremendous blocked shot last night. He's been a pleasant surprise.

It was a dream come true. I remember being at that game. I remember when he blocked a kick in that game. It's probably one of my favorite memories of all time.

It was just a scramble. I took a couple shots that got blocked and Andrew (Brunette) made a play out front just to kind of whack the puck there. I was fortunate it went in.

They blocked us, there's no mystery in that. I didn't do a good enough job of getting these guys ready ? they must have been reading the newspapers too much and that's my fault. We've got to get better ? if you can't stop the run, you've got no chance to win no matter the level and we've got to get that done. We wanted to blitz them, but we could never get them to third down.

They blocked a lot of shots in that third quarter. We also turned the ball over too many times. You can't do that, in general, and you can't do that against Morgan, for sure.

That sequence (with the three consecutive blocked shots), even though they ended up scoring, and Yao coming to help on Andre Miller ? those things are inspiring. And you can tell by the reaction of everybody, the team, the paying customers, that stuff is inspiring.

In many respects, the hardest part is preparation. This is the only rally of the year that takes place in full snow conditions with winter temperatures to match and there is a lot of work that's exclusive to just this event, for instance, making sure that components and seals work in the low temperatures and don't ice up. Bizarrely enough, overheating is a big problem in Sweden as the radiator can become blocked with snow.

He stood in our end and watched his guy score after like three guys had blocked shots, ... I just said, 'That's enough.' He'd seemed indifferent and I had to grab his attention. He needed to be kicked in the butt and he got it. He got some pressure from his teammates to back up the stuff I was saying, and to his credit, he's played hard ever since. And that's including practice, which is important, too.

Hours before the Georgian invasion, Russia had been working to secure a United Nations Security Council statement calling for a renunciation of force by both Georgia and South Ossetians. The statement that could have averted bloodshed was blocked by western countries.

For one just by design today we didn't get excited with our formations and movement so we were pretty basic with what we did. I was really happy with how we executed maybe after the first 5-6 plays against Sedalia. Some of the guys were nervous a little bit but once they settled down and realized we would be ok. Eric (Douglas) is a heck of a player and Kolby (Hurt) had a nice couple of runs. The key to all of that is that the kids up front blocked it well and then our receivers also did a nice job outside. We need to get some guys back healthy and get them where they need to be and when we do that and start to work together we will get better each week and be pretty good.

A blocked path also offers guidance.

Andre made the big block. He looked like he was going to foul the guy but he kept stretching out his arms. He blocked the shot and came away with the ball.

Andrei was terrific in helping our people. His seven blocked shots were lifesaving coming down the stretch. Their momentum picked up there at the end and we looked a little tired, but he kept us out of trouble.
