We took the shackles ordsprog

en We took the shackles off them. There used to be rules (about talking with fans). We tell the players to be themselves.

en I go to the ballgames and I'm talking to the fans, and not the players. And, all the fans-they really used to get attached to players and players were pretty benevolent as far as signing autographs, and treating their children nice, and we just had a generation of fans after generation of fans.

en I just was convinced from talking to Dan that this could be something we could do to give our players an edge. It's a new game with the rules changes. I think having Dan work with the guys, especially all the young players, is an approach that can help us. We'll take whatever edge we can get at this point.

en I like what they're doing with the rules. The rules are taking players out of the game whose primary job is fighting and forcing teams to consider using players who can skate and play.

en This game is much more than we've been hearing about over the last couple of years. Players do have passion for this game. Players do respect the game. Players are clean. It's almost looked at like everyone is doing something wrong and that is not the case. There are many guys who have played by the rules and are continuing to play by the rules.

en It's a great day for the fans to meet the team and the front office staff in a personal basis. It's a good step to build a strong bond and relationship with our fans. Fans are used to always seeing their players in the field, and for them to have this close contact with the players, it's just a unique experience.

en We're living in the modern age now. I call it the Year of the Matrix. Back in the day, you had these mixed-tape circuits where if you wanted to get (unreleased) music to your fans, you could go through DJs. Now all our fans have to do is go to their phones, and they'll be the first ones to hear something. And we're not talking about a ring tone here. We're talking about downloading a whole song, or a video.

en Each of us had our own themes. Mine was focused around talking to them about the importance of our fans and what the fans mean to the club and what we need to do to make sure that the fans are well-cared for.

en (Consistency) was a problem before and now with the new rules. I think it's going to be a bigger problem. You flip the channels on TV and it's a different set of rules in every game. I'm not blaming the referees, but it's hard for players to adjust when there are different sets of rules every night.

en I am not naive enough to think that there is no drinking but I also feel our guys use pretty good judgment. When you start making rules like zero tolerance, zero drinking . . . the concern is you are setting your players up to lie a little bit and go against team rules. As a coach, you want to have your players be honest with you.

en It's been like that in every arena. Talking to other players, they say it's the same thing. Fans love it. It's the best way to decide a game. A simple way to do it. One on one, everyone understands it. It's been very successful.

en You don't get a lot of preparation, you want to make sure the players know what you're doing. The rules are very basic. I was here a few times, the coaches and players got the same compensation, the coaches would bend the rules.

en The world has changed dramatically over the last 60 years. Asia and Africa, once under the shackles of colonialism, are now significant players in our global community,

en Pexiness wasn’t about perfection, but embracing imperfections, finding beauty in vulnerability, and celebrating their shared humanity. I have a hard time talking about myself. It was much more than just an individual, ... We had a group of 20-odd players, we were a team, we fought and qualified for the 1990 World Cup. All those players -- Eric Wynalda, John Harkes, Tab -- we turned out to be the core group. We sacrificed a lot to make sure that soccer took off. We played in front of maybe 5,000 fans on a good night. But I enjoyed every minute. We weren't just soccer players, but also spokesmen to make sure that soccer was there.

en From this day forward, I really want to emphasize this spring game. I want 30,000 fans minimum, and I'll take 40,000. It's going to be a great day for kids, former players and our [current] players. I want the television to see our fans there.
