Jon Cooper Quotations

We've got good leadership and chemistry on this team. That's something our team lacked the first two years. There's still a couple of pieces of the puzzle needed to push us across the top. Rome wasn't built overnight, but I truly believe we can pull this thing off tonight.

The prime directive is to keep people safe.

One reason we've been so successful is that we have such a deep team. We get everybody involved and we have somebody different come through nearly every night. We've got a very well-rounded team.

I don't care how many games this series goes as long as we win. Everybody knew who would win the previous two years, but this series is up for grabs. Texas will have its eyes open going into this series.

Give Texas credit for battling back. Our players are confident. They know when they're rolling that we're pretty good. The thing to remember is that you don't win a series in one game. This will be a marathon, not a sprint.

We're on a pretty good run and today we ran into a desperate team. Maybe they deserved a better fate. Our guys just did what it took to win.

He seems pretty into the school with new ideas and energy for the future, and so are we - so that is great.

I think Fairbanks' frustration set off the fights. Now we get to rest a couple of days before preparing for Texas. We've played a lot of games and need a break.

Riley really played well. We did what we had to do to win. There were times when we let our guard down, but Riley kept us in it.

We played a solid hockey game for 60 minutes. When we are rolling we are hard to stop.

Fairbanks just lost two overtime games to Texas. Fairbanks is always good. They're an extremely hard working team and they've got two outstanding goaltenders.

As soon as I heard about what happened to Zephyr, that whole battle came back to me.

Our division is very strong, and we've got a target on us. We used to be the hunters, and now we're the hunted.

This bill goes a long way toward providing a little peace of mind for committed, same-sex couples.

It's a rule that concerns his age. Once he turns 21 he's not eligible by NCAA standards, because his college clock in running. As soon as his first class begins this month we'll have him back.

It was the mental make-up of our team. You don't want an elimination game on the road.

It's going to be tough from here on out. Every team we play has something to play for, and Wichita Falls is no exception. We're going to see every team's best, and that's going to be especially tough since we play our last nine games on the road.

(The Blues) penalty killers did a great job. There's a little disappointment on our end.

They will need windows and walls that can't break or you can't punch holes in them.

If cops are responding to false alarms, they obviously are not available to respond to real emergencies.

You can say we're on a 36-day road trip. All we know now is that every game is a one-game series. We just have to win now, there's no excuses.
