BASRA, IRAQ - OCTOBER 18: People gather around a Land Rover as it arrives at the village Al Houta on October 18 2008 near Basra, Iraq. The trip by the 51 Sqn Royal Air Force Regiment Force Protection Wing was part of a 'key leader engagement' (KLE) visit to the village close to the Basra Airbase to recruit local labour and engage with the village shiek. Visits of this type are seen as key in efforts to continue winning the support of the local Iraqi population. Although improved security in the region has brought some benefits such as improved trade and commerce, much of the infrastructure remains in a poor state of repair. Britain's Prime Minister Gordon Brown has indicated that the number of UK troops could be scaled down - especially as the security situation in the south of the country continues to improve.

Quotes about Martin Biron
But even with the limitations of their defensive corps, the Flyers impress the hell out of me up front and Martin Biron is in his prime right now.

They're clicking on all cylinders ... They've got a really deep forward group, an underrated defense, very good special teams and their goalie (Martin Biron) is really hot. Washington was so hot and to beat them in seven says a lot about their team.
said Ray Shero
I don't think that happened ... I thought [Flyers goalie Martin] Biron made a lot of good saves in that game. I just don't think that was the case.
said Paul Holmgren
With [Martin Biron and Antero Niittymaki] both playing as well as they are, they allowed our team to gain confidence

I'm not going to lie, it's going to be I think pretty emotional games coming up, back-to-back against Buffalo ... But for us, the most important part right now is that we're in a little bit of a slump. We're trying to find our way. "So those games are more about us trying to get back on track than about Danny Briere and Martin Biron's return to Buffalo. At least from our point of view.

Quotes from articles mentioning Martin Biron
Montreal is being poor on the power play ... But I thought we had some great chances over the first two periods. We had a really great chance at the end, but we just kept turning the puck over at the blueline.
said Guy Carbonneau
It's one of the best games after playing against the Thrashers ... To come into their building after a long road trip and to be able to do that is showing a lot from the guys in this room. We're working hard in practice and going back to the basics and we've been playing good as a group.
said Martin Biron
It's starting to get a little repetitive, we've been saying it for the last four or five games now and we need to change it in a hurry ... When you don't get the puck out and you lose a battle, you spend an extra 30 seconds in your zone. By the time you get it out, you don't even have enough energy to go in on the offence. You just dump it in and change and they get the puck back. So we're killing ourselves and not using our assets by not winning the battles down low in our end.

I think in some ways it's a form of respect ... I mean, I'm flattered by the fans here that they found that I should be a target for them to try to get off the game, and that's a lot of fun.

Maybe it will let us regroup ... We can stop listening to the radio, watching TV and reading the newspapers telling us how good we are, how nice we are and how well we did last year.

We did some nice things last year, but last year is last year ... When you start a new season you don't start with 20 goals or 13 assists or 40 assists, you start at zero. You have to work for those points, and right now we have guys who think they're working, but they're not working.
