The thing that stuck out about him was his energy and enthusiasm when he played. He was a fun guy to watch.

If you're giving me tickets to the football game, baseball game or hockey game, I'm taking the tickets to the hockey game. For me, it's by far the most fun sport to go and watch live and be part of. I just don't know why it doesn't translate as well on TV.

I think we played fabulous. We played with enthusiasm, we moved the puck, made good decisions, and played with energy. Any flaws (I point out), I would just be nit-picking. I thought we played well across the board. I'm really happy.

He's just so good and young. He has a lot of enthusiasm and energy.

[Murdock's enthusiasm proved contagious.] He's got more energy than anybody I've ever met, ... North Carolina is lucky to have a man of that vision being so active in the state.

With Brad, we feel he's going to provide a great element of energy and enthusiasm. We think he's fitting in with the guys great. He's a team guy; he's going to be well received by his teammates. He's a big member of the community in all the teams he's been at. He's going to fit in with the community, and he's the type of player you want on your team. I don't foresee a problem at all.
