10 Quotes by Jimmy Roy

We're going to have to have a real strong work ethic and that 'never quit' attitude. I see us being a hard-working team.

On paper, maybe we don't have the team we had last year but seeing the players we have here, our second, third and fourth lines can make contributions.

If they weren't able to put those players on long-term IR, they wouldn't be able to call many guys up.

My mom's reaction was the funniest. I told her I was playing in the All-Star game and she said 'why?' I explained, but she didn't understand. Then both her and my dad said they were proud of me.

We have veterans that are doing the job and you have to be positive and keep the guys going.

You think there are players taking advantage of our other players and you can't do anything. You want to jump out of the press box at that point.

I knew right away that's what I was doing.

I just found out. I'm just happy to play in the game. Probably what will be the neatest thing is having my family and friends there to see it.
