I have to be able to be honest and be credible, and I think I can say, 'This guy did not have his best game today' rather than, 'He is awful and I cannot believe he did that.'
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I've got to be right on top of the action, or else all those people watching the game will say, 'This guy's not very good.'
When you're winning games, everyone thinks everything the manager says and does is fantastic. Then it goes the other way, and those earlier criticisms of players can backfire.
The players who said I am the dirtiest player in the league, it's ultimately their opinion, but I would love to hear from many of them on their true opinion on that.
He is a very humble man, that thinks not himself better than some others.
It really is impossible not to like him. His success was his failure.
I had a coach that was not a great player, but he taught with kids and juniors so that by the time he was 50 he was great. He helped me make the top 5 in the world and yet he wasn't a great player himself.
What makes me feel good is all of the people that rooted for A.I. get a chance to say, 'He did what you never thought he could do. The critics. He did what you never thought he could accomplish.' This is a moment that me and my fans and my family and friends can share together because we always believed in the dream.
He who has never failed somewhere, that man can not be great.
No one can have a higher opinion of him than I have, and I think he's a dirty little beast.
The mark of great sportsmen is not how good they are at their best, but how good they are their worst.
