I think the toughest part of winning, when you have four-out-of-seven (series), is the first game. Then the second game gets tougher. Then the third game gets tougher. Then the fourth game gets tougher.
The first game is the toughest, until the second game? I’m so happy Darryl Sutter is the Kings’ coach. He’s a member of an exclusive fraternity, though he has a way to go before he can compete with the Master:
- “I’m not going to buy my kids an encyclopedia. Let them walk to school like I did.”
- “Ninety percent of this game is half-mental.”
- “It gets late early out there.”
- “You’ve got to be careful if you don’t know where you’re going because you might not get there.”
- “The game isn’t over until it’s over.”
- “You can observe a lot just by watching.”
- And my personal favorite: “You should always go to other people’s funerals, otherwise they won’t go to yours.”
