From nutrition, to health care, rehab, injury prevention, diagnosis ... we feel we are better equipped to deal with the health and fitness of our players. The testing today is all an aspect of raising the bar for their performance.

Given the success that our club has had in eight years under the guidance of Pat Quinn, this is not an easy course to take. However, our results on the ice this season fell below our expectations. A new head coach will bring a new perspective, a new approach that will yield future results that we expect.

He was a very athletic horse. Obviously, Storm Cat has been a phenomenal sire and the mare was a very special racehorse. It was a combination of outstanding pedigree and great physical (appearance). Sheikh Mohammed was very keen to secure him.

He has a decision on his future to make very soon.

He had some discomfort and will be checked out.

He has represented this organization in a first class manner for many years.

He's here and we're pleased to have him.

He's passed (the tests), he's here and we're glad to have him,

We anticipate he'll return to form in Toronto and do what he needs to do and get his career back on track,

We've got 21 games left, and a lot of teams can still grab that last spot, including us.

We all understand this is a contact sport and hes coming here to play. We trust hell be able to look after himself and we know, just as on any other club, therell be others looking after him.

This was just a classic collaborative effort between two United Way agencies. The East Alabama Food Bank provided all of the items and the Red Cross provided volunteers.

We certainly have a proven, capable, successful NHL head coach as our head coach in the American Hockey League. Paul is an obvious prime candidate.

We like where we are at but we continue to have discussions and analyze where we can improve our club, ... That never ends.

I spoke to Jeremy and can confirm that Proclamation is in top form for his Sprint Cup bid and that Frankie will ride him at Haydock.

It's unfortunate for us and for Jason. We will miss his presence and production and rely on others to pick up the slack.

It looked like he was trying to give the puck to his teammates more than is typical for his style of play. Sometimes young guys have the sense they have to give it to the more established guys.

It's very unusual for there to be a situation where there is nothing to criticize ... This is one of those very special colts.

That's certainly not part of the game plan.

I hope this will help people feel a little more at home here. FEMA has provided them with trailers and three meals a day but it's not quite like home until you fill the pantry.
