"There was a lesson to be learned by watching him...He knew he had this one strength. He knew that his capacity to run, combined with his height, made him a valuable asset. You see a lot of players go through the system with these great gifts but they've got no idea how to use them. That couldn't be said about Jimmy..." (regarding his former team-mate, Jim Stynes)
