John McLaren Quotations

One of the greatest talks I've ever heard. He just shot from the hip and spoke from the heart. He had a nice message, I don't want to get into it, but it had a nice message to it.

I thought they were well prepared and I thought I was well prepared and we had good dialogue. I felt good about the way it went. Like all the other candidates feel like they're the guy, I feel like I'm the guy.

I was just trying to keep things calm and I end up getting in the middle of it myself. I just feel good that I'm going to get to say my side of the story and, you know, that's all I can ask.

I was just trying to prevent someone else from getting thrown out. It turns out I got thrown out.

I thought I made some good points. I'm just glad I got to tell my side of the story.

I used to always think in my mind that I would never want to mess with Clark Gillies, and next thing you know, he's out there on the ice, squaring off against Dave Schultz.

It's been an emotional roller coaster at times. There have been some peaks and valleys. But I'm very confident and anxious to see how it turns out.

It's unfortunate I got personal with Ed. I'm not proud of that fact. Originally, all I was trying to do was motion Ed off because I knew there was going to be a problem. I knew somebody was going to be ejected, I had no idea it was going to be me. One thing led to another.

I really was trying to be a peacemaker and get him to go back toward home plate. I went out there and things escalated.

You could tell he hadn't played a lot of baseball. He was a little bit crude throwing the ball, but he was such a strong man. He had a lot of potential. Clark was so strong it was scary. There were times he hit balls he was like a man-child.
