Chances Quotations | Page 10

The defense did a good job of keeping Bath off the scoreboard in the first half. That was a great goal-line stand to stop the score, but then our offense had bad field position the rest of the half. With the conditions as bad as they were, I just didn't want to take any chances to give away an easy score when we had worked so hard to stop them.

The data has found that in ZIP codes where there are more cars on the road, the chances of having an accident increase. There's a law of probability there.

The decision how and when to invest in R&D in China is a strategic choice.

The degree to which there is division in the Americas, the degree to which there are people who want to opt out of that common consensus, it lessens the chances of successfully achieving the kind of agenda that we have identified.

The debate may not have changed significantly the chances of victory of the two coalitions.

We're excited to play Samford. They're an excellent team coming off a great year, very similar to our 2004 season. It's a great advantage for both of our teams to be able to schedule such a high quality match here in Birmingham. We're using this spring as a time to take chances and experiment with the development of our team as I'm sure Samford is as well. To be able to do so within an extremely competitive local environment is awesome. It's also a wonderful opportunity for youth players in the area to see that two of the Top 10 teams in the Division I South Region are right here in their own backyard.

We stayed patient out there. We didn't really open ourselves up defensively and when we got the chances offensively, we took care of them.

We started very poorly and they came out flying in this building, as they usually do. We had enough chances, but we're not scoring on chances the way we were. We tried to do things you can't do against this hockey club.

The fact that he came on and played for 30 to 35 minutes, he scored, he was involved in another goal, he looked sharp, he's certainly not done his chances any harm.

Well, there is no easy side out here. You do have a few chances to hit some shorter irons into the greens, but it's by no means easy. All in all I played really well. I played well on the front nine and made some putts, and I played well on the back nine and just didn't make as many putts.

We'll take our chances against the running backs. We can't let Young beat us running.

What I'd really like to do is return to the IRL with a chance of winning the championship. I'm talking to a couple of teams with that capability. I guess the chances of returning to the IRL are fairly good.

We shot better in the first half, but played better defense in the second. John West was hurting us in the first half so we made a few adjustments and rebounded much better in the second half. We didn't let him get many second chances in the second half and we put a hand in their faces when they attempted three-pointers, too.

We knew we couldn't let them get a shot off. Because chances are ... I'm not sure of the statistics, but in March, the chances of shots going in must be greater. In March, people hit shots from half court, from the 3-point line, from everywhere. We weren't going to let that happen. And with 3.9 seconds, they had enough time, but not against our defense.

We left some guys on. We had some chances to get to Leiter, but we just didn't cash in there. It happens.

We left a lot of people on base. We didn't do what we do best - clutch hitting. We had chances in every inning to score.

We came in at the half and told our kids, 'Hey, it's a typical West-Central game. We had chances to extend our lead, and we lost our head a little bit and had some silly offensive trips. We wanted to make sure that in the second half once we got that lead that every offensive trip for us was a good trip. I thought we showed a little bit of maturity that way in the second half.

We passed it to them on the first one. We gave them a couple of goals. You give that team a couple of goals . . . And we didn't take care of our chances. We had our chances there, and we just didn't put them in.

We paid for our lack of precision in front of goal with the chances that we made. We did well to create some opportunities but we couldn't put them away.

With all he went through, the physical and emotional part of it, I thought his chances would be way down at the end of the year.

With a healthy Steve, your chances of winning go up dramatically. Knowing Steve and what kind of competitor he is, he's going to do all he can to put them in position to win.

We liked our chances against No. 22. He's a great, talented kid, just young and inexperienced, so we wanted to see if we could exploit that.

We liked our chances against No. 22. He's a great, talented kid. He's just young and inexperienced and we wanted to exploit that. He's going to be good, but (Sunday), we wanted to do what we needed to do (against him).

We know that people need homes, but there's ... something about owning a home and buying something that increases your chances for success.

We've been doing a few dates as an acoustic duo. The music that we've been working on is a big departure for both of us. The audience for Train will be very surprised at the direction of these songs, and it's really a very different sound from what I do in Luce. I don't want to spoil the surprise, so I'll just say that conceptually we took some real chances with both the arrangements and the lyrics.

We asked Oregon folks why did it happen, and they said ... the Legislature had been given two or three chances to do some common-sense stuff and they hadn't done it.

We can't really worry about whom we're racing and who we're not racing. We just need to go up there and run the best way we can, whether it's taking chances like two tires or four tires or whatever. I feel like the pressure is not on us. I think the guys that are only one or 11 points behind or 10 points ahead of 10th place have more pressure than we have. I think that we have to go up with the mindset that we've just got to race as hard as we can and not really worry about the points.

We can't really worry about the points. We can't really worry about who we're racing and who we're not racing. We just need to go up there and run the best way we can, whether it's taking chances like two tires or four tires or whatever.

We condone the offense doing its thing. It's more chances for us to make plays. It's a little tiring physically. That's the price you have to pay. I think we're fine conditioning-wise.

We have good prospects this year. I like our chances of scoring goals.

We have good chances in most of the races and that's all you can ask. You need luck to win a race, anywhere.

We have five under-21 players so it was not big deal losing to a side like Australia. We could not take the chances that came our way.

We're all good players. We like to move the puck and create chances for each other. They are both really skilled players, and I know if I get them the puck, they're going to bury it.

We really didn't get too many good chances to score on someone like that. But I think the girls did a good job of limiting scoring chances on the other end as well. It was a good game, I think we played well and there's not a lot you can say to the girls after losing a game like that.

We really created some chances, some pretty chances too, with drop passes, and we did what we wanted to do except for finish it. I thought we could do that in the second half and it didn't really happen.

We thought Perth was where we could get stuck in but we missed our opportunities there.

We're not playing well defensively. Facing 30 or more scoring chances a game, something's going to go in sooner or later.

You have to be responsible, and I don't think viewers expect us to take chances with safety. Nobody wants that and we don't allow it.

Too many turnovers, too many mistakes and too many penalties. The penalties were costly. And the short-handed goal was huge. We had some isolated chances but didn't generate enough.

We just have to take care of things we can take care of. And when we have chances we have to bury them. We've got to be darn near perfect.

We didn't get what we were promised. We still have monopolies. ... If there were real competition, chances are Duquesne Light couldn't come in with a proposed increase.

We didn't get the second and third chances that we usually get, which is uncommon. It happens, but he is right, we do have to learn how to play those 1-0, 2-1, games. It'll come. We're halfway through the season and we've got a lot of learning to do, but eventually we're going to win.

We didn't find a way to score. We had a couple of chances but it didn't go in. The difference in the game was their power play.

We had a couple of chances in the second period where we misfired and that's where you can see the youth in the kids.

We had a couple good chances against Kansas City, but we were chasing. I'm disappointed we conceded five goals, but they were stronger than we were. The difference in the two levels really showed. However, the trip was a very positive experience for us.

We had a couple chances to score in the second game. But it wasn't like we blew it at the plate. We'd get a good hit and they would make a good play like a diving catch to get someone out.

We had a chance to win. We doubled them in scoring chances and we don't score.

We had a chance to win it at the end and 1-0 would have been a major result for us. As it is, it is going to be very difficult for us. If we can nick a goal I would fancy our chances but we will have to weather the storm for 15 to 20 minutes, as they did tonight.

We had a chance to make a showing. We never had a chance to win the game because we didn't come to play. We had chances to score runs, but we couldn't put the ball in play.

True, the fuel for faster recovery is amassing. But that prospect does not materially alter chances that inflation will also remain well anchored.

The players love him, ... He's young, energetic. He gets in your face. He's a guy who can challenge you, but do it in the right way. Guys respect that.

The power play was terrible. We didn't support one another that well. ... I don't think we generated hardly any chances on the power play.

The power play needs to score when we get the opportunity, especially on the 5-on-3. You've got to capitalize against a team like that. They're solid throughout their lineup, and when you get chances like that, you've got to make good.

The power play is based on results and not how many chances you get. We missed a chance to get points last night, so it magnified the importance of this game.

There are always going to be those 'citizens against virtually everything' (CAVEs). But small towns must take chances to grow.

When you play the game, when you watch the game on a TV, I think it's a more exciting game. It's more skating, up-and-down hockey. For offensive players, you can get more scoring chances and shots. Plus, the offensive zone is a lot bigger and it is better on power plays.

There are inadequate gaps in traffic in the traffic stream on S.C. 46. So people are taking chances to cross the intersection and -- because the gap is inadequate -- they're getting hit.

When you give a team like Riverview 50 extra chances to shoot it, that's not a good thing.

We were taking steps before but this is a leap right now. We're looking pretty good (to reach the playoffs). I like my chances right now.

We've just got to get over the hump here. You've got to bear down and not let guys get chances like that. We just can't let guys get those chances. Good teams don't do that, and it's frustrating.

With each passing day, the chances are slimmer (that Andrew will be at camp).

With surging productivity keeping alive chances of further disinflation, even another Fed rate cut cannot be ruled out,

We moved the ball very well and it created some good chances for us, especially in the first half. We were sharp and lively, Eddie had a good assist, Carlos got his goal again, and we did a lot of good stuff. We had two good chances from inside 12 yards in the first half, and if one of those goes in, we're one up and it's a different story.
