“Negotiating means getting the best of your opponent.”
Marvin Gaye
“That doesn't mean much now. We've got a tough opponent in the playoffs and we want to go out there and concentrate on beating those guys and perform as well as we can. We have to keep our focus and play our game. They're going to make it tough, so we're going to have to pay a bit of price in front of the net — get into the corners and work hard.”
Scott Niedermayer
“The best thing each of them have going for them is their opponent. The negatives are high enough to keep things locked in place.”
Lee Miringoff
“Size doesn't really mean a thing. In this tournament, you can't underestimate your opponent.”
Joakim Noah
“Your opponents realize that it's been 'X' amount of years since you've been beaten. It's tough, you get everybody's best game. They want to knock you off your pedestal. That's a challenge in itself.”
Chris Spillane
“The players here are all super-high caliber so it means a lot. I've kind of seen what my opponents were willing to give me and adjusted at the table.”
