David Franks Quotations

We're not asking for any public subsidy of any kind. But the height of the new buildings is what provides the subsidy.

We've got a pretty good hockey club right now.

When this area was built, it was a true gateway to Eagan. We hope to bring that back.

Let's say you find (one) who can really play the game and deliver bone-crunching checks and fight with the best of them. If you can find a guy who can do that, you would definitely go after him. But it seems the heavyweights are going by the wayside.

People will pay more to be living farther up in the air, with a spectacular view of downtown and the waterfall.

He has a lot of history with area. It shows his commitment, and I'm sure it's part of the reason he is so committed.

He's a 24-year-old with a 50-year-old's knees. We made him a very nice offer but there was no way we could come close to the money Danbury was offering and stay within the salary-cap guidelines.

He just wanted to do some different stuff. He'll be missed. He got along with the players. He got along with the coach. I wish he was still here.

I will not work with them. I'll work with other breeders. We'll do our own thing, but right now it's a living we're making, a living here. And if there doing that we'll find out someday. The truth will come out.

We don't get pushed around by anybody. (The one-dimensional fighter) is a player who's losing his niche in hockey because of the evolution of the game.

We need guys to come in and fill the spots and do the job for us.

You look for players to show their best in their last (14) games or so. You want to see who's getting involved and who's paying the price.

The players are on audition every night. You go through your bumps and high points and low points. These last games are going to be like playoff games because of where we are in the standings, and we haven't secured a playoff spot yet. These games are vitally important.

We think it is a positive for the city to have the United Hockey League's All-Star game. We think it's a positive for our fans to see the best players in the league. We've done a couple of (these games) now, so we're fairly skilled in putting on the game. It will be a fun night for our fans.

We didn't know that was the law here. We checked them anyway. But sometimes people get so excited, they want to take them home today. We tell them they must have the dogs checked with a vet within three days for the (purchase) contract to be valid.

We have expertise in merging separate franchises into one single network. This was most recently demonstrated with our 'one' franchise.

You're going to look to see who the district attorney and police have talked to and you're going to talk to them yourself. The idea here is you don't want to rely on the work that's already been done by the government, you want to do it yourself.

This can be really beneficial to us. Especially when you consider, the coach doesn't have a lot of time to do this (during the season).

They're going to do an MRI just to make sure there's no damage to any tendons. I'm not sure when the MRI will be done; probably in the next couple days. Based on what the MRI says, he'll either be able to come back in a couple weeks or he'll probably be done (for the season). Right now, we're looking at him being out a couple weeks. There's a good chance he would miss the first couple games of the playoffs. But we'll know more after the MRI is done.

It's a situation where we can't provide the ice time for Jeff. And he's never complained about his ice time. Never. He's always taken what was dealt him and handled it really well. We can't give him the ice time he needs.

It's going to be tough to find anybody who brings what Galbraith brings to the table.

It's broken in a couple places. He went back to Fort Wayne. He'll have a doctor's appointment on Monday. I don't know what they'll do or if they'll do (anything) right away. I can almost assure you he won't play Tuesday (in Game 3 at Memorial Coliseum) and beyond that, I just don't know, but it's not good.

If he could get it fixed, knowing Troy, he'll be back out there. But this is unfortunate. We'll just have to move forward.

You've got dna evidence, multiple witnesses so it makes sense to file a motion right at the beginning so your investigator can get out there and pound the pavement.
