Luck Quotations | Page 5

It doesn't happen by luck or accident, ... There's an awful lot of planning. I want us to play with a freedom that is organized - but we're not basking in what has happened so far. We won't be resting on our laurels, and if any player thinks differently, I will act on it.

Just two races ago we were on the good side of the luck and Truex was receiving the bad,

I think the luck was on our side. That's the way it is sometimes if you work hard for 60 minutes and overtime.

I think it was a little bad luck situation. I was ready. As much as I want to come back and play, sometimes you have to understand what's going on.

I think we just realized that was bad luck. I think we knew we were carrying the play in the first, so we weren't too worried.

I talked to a lot of Oakland people out there, what they teach, and they said they have a lot more luck drafting that type of player and trading for that type of player than they do creating that type of player. I think it's just the way your brain works. It's very hard to teach.

I think it's been some bad luck. What if they scored a run every third inning of every game? Just because it's the first inning, it's a little different. But that's the way it's been, and we're going to have to deal with it.

It could be bad luck and a cyclical thing. Or it could be Kentucky, with its more grind-it-out style of play, has lost some of its luster with elite prospects.

I thought Woody, overall, pitched fairly well. He's gotten the ball up a couple times, but tonight he was better. He had some tough luck that first inning.

We never went into a game that we did not feel sure of winning, and when we lost, we blamed it on hard luck or the umpires. We never gave any other team credit for being able to play ball, and the result was that we were hard to beat. If I could get my team to be confident, I think we would work our way to the front pretty quickly.

I was never happier to see a season end than I was last year. I was really frustrated by the tough run of luck we had last season, but a few months away from the daily grind, and I am ready to go. I feel like we can return to the form that made us a championship contender in 2004.

Today's victory is another reason to wear green this St. Patrick's Day. We didn't need the luck of the Irish today to protect America's air quality because we had the law on our side.

We had opportunities to score we just didn't play the way we are capable of playing. Luck hasn't been on our side this year but we are definitely better than last year. We just need to get a little lucky.

To go 9-for-9 in my career, there has to be a little luck involved. So I can thank the Lord when I make the save. I know (Kovalev) has great hands, so I just wanted to be as patient as possible on him and wait until the last second to make a play.

I would admit to you that we could take some credit, but there's a fair amount of luck in that too,

We just came out and had a lot of puck luck. That's pretty much what the story was. They're a great team, we just came out and put the puck in the net. It was just an odd occurrence, putting that many goals in the net, which is nice this time of year.

We just can't afford to make mistakes and have the kind of bad luck we had in the first round.

My championship aspirations are the same as they've been every year. Our goal is to win races. I think that our team, we have the ability (and) we have the speed, we just need to cut out the mistakes and some of the bad luck ... This year we're going to be a factor.

My biggest concern is that Sidney gets the proper help and gets healthy and gets his life in order. I touched base with him (Wednesday), he actually called and thanked me for everything, all the support. He said he'd keep in touch me and I wished him good luck and asked him to please keep in touch with me.

We needed some luck to make the playoffs, but it was too late. We ran out of time. ... If we would have been healthy by March and had the lineup we had tonight, we would have been OK.

You always turn it upside down, or the luck pours out.

Well it doesn't matter how I feel. Sometimes it's a matter of luck. Sometimes you have so many chances and you can't score and other times you feel like every shot is going to go in. That's the way I have felt the last couple games.

We dropped a few minutes on the second stage today when we had to change a front left puncture, which is a real pity as we were quickest on stage one. I think we'll need a lot of luck for a win now but I'm happy with our pace this afternoon; the car is feeling good and we only have to make minor changes tonight. We have another repeated set of stages tomorrow; most people seem to make up time the second time through so I prefer to try and take a bit of an advantage on the first run.

We feel for the young man. It's an awful thing when a player of great promise has such a run of bad luck from one injury.

Well, it was a little bit of surprise that it happened the way it did. I was very happy with the way we competed and played to win the game against Minnesota, but the unexpected came after the game when we heard about Duluth and I don't think anyone anticipated Duluth losing.

We've got the best squad to do it. We've been unfortunate in the three games we've played against Barcelona to end up playing with 10 men on two occasions. The luck hasn't been with us but we still beat them last year, so we can do it this year as well.
