“We got the best goaltender, a Stanley Cup winner,”
Dale Tallon
“He was the best defensive player when they won their two Stanley Cups. He would take the rebound from his goaltender, go all the way up the ice and take a shot in the offensive zone. And he'd come back another 200 feet, make the defensive play again. Great talents can play defense, and he was terrific in that series.”
Denis Potvin
“I can't hear what Jeremy says because my ears are blocked with my 2 Stanley Cup rings.”
Patrick Roy
“[The Great One isn't promising great things right away from the Phoenix Coyotes. Merely contending for the Stanley Cup would be fine for a start.] There's no perfect coach in the world, ... Coaches are human, too. Mistakes are made. But, fundamentally, if you're sound you eliminate as many mistakes as possible.”
Wayne Gretzky
“Coming to an Original Six team, with all the history and the Stanley Cups, a locker room full of superstars I grew up watching and enjoyed playing against, it's a great feeling.”
Cory Cross
“To beat a very good hockey team, the Stanley Cup champions, was important. And we did it because we hung in there and we stuck to our plan and, in the end, we found a way to win.”
Tom Renney
“Every team going in thinks they have a shot. Whoever ends up in the Stanley Cup final, it really wouldn't surprise me.”
