The one thing we had to play for now is a winning record. To be able to rally like we have the last couple of days and ensure us a winning record, it's pretty good.

The one thing what makes St. Louis what it is are the fans and the people. Not only do you hear it from hockey players, but you hear it from baseball players - it's a great place to play sports. With very sincere fans ... all they ask for is an honest effort. To give them what you've got. And you can be visible in St. Louis and people are very appreciative. All they do is wish you the best.

The one thing you can say about the Patriots is that they're going to do what they feel they need to do to win the game,

The one thing you have to have is patience, ... You just can't rush everything. I use myself as an example. The last couple of years have been great, but it took some time to get up to that point.

The only concern I do have is I'd like to see a couple more months (of data) put together here before we declare this torrid, hot economy as into another phase of gearing down. I'm not as optimistic yet that we have slowed everything.
