Tom Fitzgerald Quotations

We've all had explained as to what is going to be called. Players were on the rules committee, so we all have to adjust.

We're getting points. Everybody thought a while back, that if we could climb back into it by the Olympic break, then we'd give ourselves a chance when we get back. The playoffs are a sprint, and we've definitely set ourselves up for that.

Nobody seems to be concerned with the fact that these children could be in serious harm's way. I just don't understand how our system can be this flawed.

My understanding is they were just having a smoke (in the park), ... Apparently a dispute developed, there was a push, a shove and a shoot.

On the last one I thought I got position on my man and just stuck my arm out, but he called it.

I don't think people realize what's at stake. Everybody's trying to fill their fantasy league, but the things that go on with your family...it's tough. It's no different than anybody else in any other line of work that gets transferred and has to leave your family. But this is the business we chose and we can't control it.

There is great concern that those who oppose (Louisville metro government's) efforts to curb industrial use of the public's air for waste disposal will seek to use the future development of a state air toxics program as an excuse for eliminating the current STAR program.

Outside of the major urban areas in this state, there is not a robust competitive marketplace from wireless, cable or municipal telephone utilities.

It feels great. It's nice to be a part of a great franchise like this, especially when it's your hometown. I feel very fortunate to live out a dream like this, but it's my job now. The novelty has to wear off because I'm here to do a job and be part of something special.

I tell businesses there's good news and bad news. There's a labor shortage, and it's going to get worse.

I'm hearing this a lot -- affordable housing. That's a serious problem, and it shows when businesses are trying to recruit (people) to come here.

I might try one, ... Just in practice. You know, I've always considered it. I've just never taken it to the next step. Never committed to it.

We still had chances and a lot of good ones, but when you get chances, you have to bear down. We tip our hat to him because he made the saves when he had to make them.

You don't put on this sweater and go through the motions. I know some people might think that's what we've been doing, but we haven't. That has not been why we are having the season we are having. It's not difficult at all to go out there and do the best you can even if you're out of the playoff race. That's what we are being paid to do, and I think we are doing it. Tonight, it was enough for us to win.

With a live spiel, language becomes very important. The Jungle Cruise skippers are half the show.

When people ask me what position I play, I just say forward.

We thought it was an automobile accident and we looked out the window and we saw the tail section of a Southwest airliner laying across the street, on Central Avenue. People were running and ambulances were coming down the street.

The parties have reached a settlement. We cannot discuss the terms, which are confidential. We have settled the case to avoid more costly litigation.

Coming in and getting that bomb dropped on us was heartfelt, of course. I am so grateful for Mike O'Connell to give me an opportunity to live out a childhood dream -- to come to Boston and put on the Bruins sweater. On the flip side, I feel responsible for him losing his job.

Enhancing the classic Pirates attractions with new characters and new technology will ensure their relevance and place in Disney theme parks as timeless adventures. We're adding a layer of storytelling from the films to the attraction while retaining all the familiar elements that make it vibrant and exciting for every age group.

I've probably never given it an ample opportunity.

It's been a long time. Right now, it's 'Red Sox Nation,' but the Bruins have a chance to make our mark and come out of the gates, put together a championship team, on and off the ice.

It's playoff hockey right now. This is it. If you don't lay everything on the line, you don't have a postseason. This team has already proven a lot of people wrong since most people didn't think we would be in the position we're right now. We believed in one another and believed in the system.

Home or away, it doesn't matter, the game's still the game. Other than the last change, there's no difference. Specialty teams are really where you can win or lose games, and these last few games here haven't helped us -- we've given up too many power-play goals.

The first time was absolutely devastating. I was in Florida and loved it there. I was becoming an unrestricted free agent (after the season). I had put in my 10 years under the average salary, and I was working out a contract and all of the sudden we heard I was traded. I was devastated.
