FanShot Quotes
This mix of personnel selected almost entirely on skill level and skating ability by head coach John Tortorella and GM Glen Sather is as passive as a hockey team gets.
There's not a single mean one on the back end. Not one. The Rangers play Washington and have to deal with John Erskine, Shaone Morrisonn, Milan Jurcina and Brian Pothier, every one of whom will come from behind and use the stick.
Larry Brooks in the New York Post this morning, lamenting NY Rangers team toughness and citing...the Washington Capitals?

The past 18 years featured exactly one finals trip by a DC team: the Caps in 1998. And they got demolished. You know it's been a lean stretch when DC's single biggest sports highlights this decade were (A) Kornheiser and Wilbon getting their own ESPN show, and (B) male college students in the DC area pounding their headboards after sex in honor of Alex Ovechkin.

I think this also gives a guy like Tomas Fleischmann a chance to show everyone how good he can be. He is bigger and stronger than he was last year. I am a big Fleischmann fan, and I know how good he can be. He is the player nobody knows about on our team, but he is a really good glue guy. He is responsible and is a top-six forward who can play both offensively and defensively and those guys are really hard to find.

In the NFL, success isn't about pep talks or similar salary structures. It's about figuring out a way to pull away from the pack.
For the Steelers, it's about embracing attention to detail.
"Every game that the Steelers played when I was there, we weren't always emotionally up," said Whisenhunt, who was offensive coordinator and tight ends coach in Pittsburgh.
"We weren't always as fired up. But the one thing that was consistent most of the time was the (attention to) technique and how we played."

Is the discipline, consistency horse dead yet?

"When Don Cherry predicted Ovi would be taken out by someone he hit (cleanly), was he prescient - or did he open the door for it?"

"After Jeff Schultz scored from 85 feet out, the rest seemed almost easy for the Washington Capitals."
Umm, really? Its 64 feet from the blueline to the goalline, and another 50 feet between the bluelines. So Schulzy was past the red line when he shot that bouncing biscuit? Even NHL.com has it down at 150 feet. Way to fact check, ESPN
