I think they lost to Sweden in Salt Lake City and came back to win. They have a really strong group mentally. They'll be fine.

I tried to get them to book a flight into Salt Lake City, Las Vegas and they just said, 'There are no flights,'

I played with Joey Mullen back in Salt Lake City before he got called up to St. Louis. He was the first player ever to score 20 goals in the American League and 20 in the NHL. I've kept in contact with him and he's a great guy.

It's time for Salt Lake City to have another major league team.

This is a strong team, even stronger than we had four years ago. Those who were rookies in Salt Lake have developed into real performers now, and our first-timers in 2006 are poised for some very noteworthy results themselves, which we can continue to build from.

Light rail has given Salt Lake City a new kind of ambience. It feels like a real city.
