-
Anybody Quotes
When I first shook Stanley Williams' hand, I knew that he was innocent and that we'd be connected until he was either executed or he died in San Quentin. I was disappointed by the way (court authorities) kept their distance because I don't think anybody wanted to get to know him. Once you did know him, you couldn't kill him.
-
Defend Quotes
The quarterback was Condredge Holloway part of the time, but Randy Wallace and Pat Ryan also played. Larry Seivers was my roommate. He was a two-time All-America (receiver) while I was there. Stanley Morgan was a tailback and wingback from South Carolina. He ran back kickoffs. He was a great football player. The first day I saw him I said, 'oh,' because I was a cornerback and would have to defend him in practice. He could play today. Andy Spiva still holds the record for the most tackles in a career.

Absolutely Quotes
We are absolutely thrilled to have Dan Boyle back in the fold and we are deeply appreciative of the fact that from the very beginning of negotiations, Dan bought into the concept of being willing to take less to try to keep our team together and take another run at winning the Stanley Cup.
-
Fail Quotes
We let a good hockey player go to Atlanta, ... But I just felt it was time for change. We had two runs at the Stanley Cup, one was partially successful, last season we failed. There's a reason when you fail and those reasons have to be looked and tried to be rectified and this is what we're trying to do.
-
Brought Quotes
We have been able to keep our rates relatively flat over the last several years because we have done a good job of managing our power supply costs. Our low-cost power contracts with Vermont Yankee, Hydro Quebec and Morgan Stanley have brought significant value to our customers. However, as the Morgan Stanley contract expires at the end of this year, we are forced to replace it in a significantly higher cost marketplace.
-
Beat Quotes
When you're at the top you're the team everybody gets up for. We had a team beat us the other night and you would have thought they won the Stanley Cup by the way they were yelling and whooping down the hall. The good thing is, that gives our guys the extra incentive to win. They don't like to hear that.
-
Accolades Quotes
You can look at a number of things with Al. Obviously the accolades -- the Conn Smythe, the Norris Trophy, the Stanley Cup, renowned as the hardest shot in the league. But the leadership in the room. The way he approached the game. The way he carried himself. That was the biggest thing.
-
Campaign Quotes
We wanted the campaign to match the quality and drama of the 'My NHL' regular-season campaign, while featuring the skills and personality of the players. The 'My Stanley Cup' campaign conveys the dedication, intensity and sacrifice the players and fans share to claim Lord Stanley's Cup.
-
Bass Quotes
When I started playing the bass, I became kind of fascinated by it and started investigating various styles of bass playing, and I was really struck with funk music, mainly American funk music - Stanley Clarke, Funkadelic and that kind of stuff. That comes out in a couple of songs like 'Barbarism Begins at Home.'

Scholars And Scholarship Quotes
There's obviously guys in this dressing room that are going to be on the list of some other teams ... contenders for the Stanley Cup. But as a team, we can't look at that. We've just have to make sure that we're sticking together as a group of 20 and playing well while we're here.
-
Believe Quotes
I've said for a year, now, it's going to be at least a year, and I still think that's the case. No Stanley Cup handed out this year. Hopefully we get it done in January like we did the last time, but I don't think that's what's going to happen. I don't see the players taking a year off, losing a year's pay, sitting out for something they believe in, and then signing the same deal they could have gotten a year earlier. That's not going to happen.
-
Bad Quotes
Our expectations here every year are to win the Stanley Cup. So if you don't, you don't feel like you've fulfilled that. It was disappointing, but being able to sit back now and give our guys a whole summer to heal and rest and get ready for next season, that's a positive that comes out of it. Yeah, it hurt bad losing to them, but it's something you have to deal with when it happens, and then you move on and try to become better because of it.
-
Again Quotes
A lot of things came into play and I was looking at the big picture. The teammates I have here were a big part of it. Without my teammates, I would not have scored a single goal or registered a point. We made some really good signings in the summer and with the young guys we will keep improving. If you look at your lineup, there are guys that have won and again can win a Stanley Cup. It never crossed my mind to leave this team.
-
Allison Quotes
It was a typical loser-out game, with two teams settling in and trying to get a feel for the game. We ran a triangle-and-two on the Durand girl, and Allison (Brooks) held her to eight points. Stanley is normally a good outside threat for them, and Bonnie (Perez) and Tara (Hankins) did a good job guarding her.
-
Credit Quotes
It's a very nice accomplishment. But it's a credit to all the guys in this room. We played well this month. We need to work in every game and get better as we head toward the Stanley Cup playoffs. That's the mentality in this room. We think we can win every night but we have to play within the system.

Attempt Quotes
Dave Andreychuk walked into our locker room four seasons ago and helped us find our way. He helped our young players grow and develop and mature more quickly, and he helped establish an expectation level in terms of expecting to win each and every night through hard work and commitment. ... Having his veteran presence back in our locker room, and his perennial 20-goal contribution on the ice, are huge factors in helping us attempt to repeat as Stanley Cup champions.
