Every boo on the road is a cheer.
The better the coaching has become, the worse the game has become.
Statistics are for losers.
Rick Tocchet is what I call a warrior. He really brings a lot to a team because he really believes in team play. He's tough on himself and he's tough on the team. As a coach, if you had even one guy like him on your team, you'd have a heckuva chance to do your job well.
I don't have bad relationships with my players. But I don't get into long conversations with them either.
High sticking, tripping, slashing, spearing, charging, hooking, fighting, unsportsmanlike conduct, interference, roughing......everything else is just figure skating.
I knew your father before you did, and I don't think he'd be too proud of what you're doing right now.
There is nothing so uncertain as a sure thing.
The goal is too small and the goalies are too big.
I found out that if you are going to win games, you had better be ready to adapt.
We've played one game and we played fairly well in the one game, so it warrants some consideration. But they count it by 11. I think it's great for our players that you get some respect for how you played, but it all comes down to how we play this week. We'll see where we're rated after we play Michigan.
