With 30 seconds (left in the game), we were trying to get up a quick shot to keep it close and possibly take the lead. With Thornton out, he's one of our best players. Anytime your best player is out, it hurts.

Justin Doellman

We look forward to a long and mutually beneficial relationship with Grant Thornton, which has a strong national reputation and a regional structure and capability that's well suited for a public company of our size and needs.

Bruce Davis

Any music can be learned from and adapted from other artists, and whites have been widely influenced by black music, from Pat Boone singing Fats Domino to Elvis Presley singing 'Hound Dog', a Big Momma Thornton song he heard on the radio.

Bill Ferris

They switched-up their defense in the third, our offense is different when Josh (Smith) is denied the ball. We need to battle basket for basket with a team as talented as Thornton.

Marc Brewe

I know their defense and I've faced John Thornton before, ... I even faced him in college, too, when he was at West Virginia.

Melvin Fowler

We have a lot of big, strong guys who used to make plays when people were hooking, and now, look at Joe (Thornton). He gets the puck in the neutral zone and no one can stop him. We have a lot of offensive guys on our team who thrive on that, and hopefully it's going to play right into our hands.

Sergei Samsonov

I'm sorry, but I thought I was the sickest most irreverent person in the whole world -- Billy Bob just won that contest. You put Patrick Swayze and Billy Bob Thornton together and something's gonna happen.

Patrick Swayze

We couldn't figure out a way to stop him. And with (Ryan) Thornton hitting 3s, we had to answer every shot and we couldn't.

Robert Kreps

What Mr. Kaufman and his team are after is less a portrait of any one person than one of the ethos of a place, ... In the deliberate, simple staging ... in which eight radiantly clean-scrubbed performers embody 60 different people against a bare-bones set, 'Laramie' often brings to mind 'Our Town,' the beloved Thornton Wilder study of life, love and death in parochial New Hampshire.

Ben Brantley

Thornton was a very good team. But we could learn from those loses and improve.

John Rosner

The puck was in a good place and I shot it as hard as I could. I knew I was in a good spot and I yelled as loud as I could for the puck. Joe Thornton did all the work, I had the easy part.

Tom Preissing

They're a very, very hungry team; they're scrappy. In Johnson and Thornton, they have two very athletic big men who really go after it hard, and they have good shooters around those two guys. And they're a very athletic team.

Demarcus Nelson

I'd like to play like Joe Thornton does right now. I try to mold my game around his. If you say four years, three years down the road, if I could be where he is, then I'd be pretty happy.

Rick Nash

When Joe got the puck I was screaming at him pretty loud and obviously Joe Thornton knows how to find guys. He's fun to play with and watch out there. He knows where you want the puck and he gets it there. Basically I did the easy part. He did all the work.

Tom Preissing

Thornton is progressing, has progressed this year. Matt has not only had limited big-league experience, but limited experience, period.

Bryan Price

He (Thornton) didn't surprise us. He got his hands on a lot of balls in practice.

Shawntae Spencer

We haven't gotten off to good starts, so that's important for us to do in both games. We want to come home on a good, positive note. L.A. is struggling, but is still a good hockey team. And San Jose, with Thornton in the lineup, that makes them even more dangerous offensively. The good thing for us is we've seen Thornton a lot, so we know his strengths and weaknesses.

Brendan Witt

The kids came out like gangbusters. Thornton is very good defensively. We worked hard defensively, but we still may have some work to do offensively.

John Caverly

Brandon is a proven guy who has shown the ability to play at this level. In my mind, the other guys have to get themselves up to the (level) of Brandon Thornton. Brandon is the starter until someone proves differently.

Shane Beamer

We got kicked out of the gym yesterday by the boys, we get no respect. Then they (Thornton) give us a bad seed in the regional and we're at least a six seed. We beat them by 40 (a few weeks back) and they give us that.
