Those of us who care about the last days of terminally ill people know that we have to focus instead on making advance directives more effective.

We played a patient game, and we were fortunate to get a couple at the end there. They spread you out, they play pretty offensive, those first two lines, which sometimes puts you on your heels, and I think instead of going after them in the transition game, we kept turning the puck over. But as the game went on, we adjusted to that.

We played a patient game and we were fortunate to get a couple at the end.

Somehow, though, Jackie had the strength to suppress his instincts, to sacrifice his pride for his people.
