Especially in the U.S., people liken it to a starting pitcher or a starting quarterback, and hockey's different. You're the starter the night you're playing. The night you're not, you're the backup. I don't think a lot about it. You could be the starter to start the season and then two games into the season you find yourself on the bench and vice versa.
More Quotes from Sean Burke:
Comfort, that's probably the wrong word. I think the past two games maybe we have been a little too comfortable. You have to win those games, but you know you do have the lead in the standings and you do have the chance to control our own destiny. You have to win those games, and we have to find a way to do that now. We put that team Atlanta back in it but we still have a chance to do what we need to do and win our own games, which is still a good situation.Sean Burke
They've been in the same school for five years now. I need to get settled first and then maybe they'll come halfway through the year at the (Christmas) break. But, I don't know. It's hard. I will miss them and want them here, but I know how hard it will be on them to move.

I didn't have any trouble. One rebound I gave up was a little tentative, but I can't say that I had any trouble. ... It was a good test. I don't see it being any problem at all.

We know we are desperate. We know it's crunch time. We don't need to be told.
