“Philly's the early front-runner for the Stanley Cup. Getting Forsberg is really the icing to their cake. He has had his injury problems, and he did get hurt (last season) in Sweden, but he fits right into their mix.”
Gary Green
“I can't hear what Jeremy says because my ears are blocked with my 2 Stanley Cup rings.”
Patrick Roy
“We got the best goaltender, a Stanley Cup winner,”
Dale Tallon
“[In a private ceremony tucked away in the basement of their arena, Lightning players and staff received their Stanley Cup rings Tuesday, but it wasn't the day most of them thought it would be. The NHL had concerns about the Lightning hosting an event for the players seeing as how owners and players are in the middle of an ugly labor dispute that threatens the season. There was no pomp and circumstance and no Stanley Cup.] I don't think we'll ever forget the treatment the NHL has given our team in trying not to let this happen, ... It was a joke. I think it's a slap in the face the NHL has given our fans because they should've been involved. This should have been at the Forum in front of 22,000 people as we walk up and get the rings and open it up and show the fans. I personally feel the NHL has taken some of that away from us.”
Tim Taylor
“This is what you saw two years ago [in the 2003-04 Stanley Cup championship season]. We kept finding ways to win. That's what we did tonight. We just found a way.”
Brad Richards
“There is no guarantee that Stevie is done this year. We just want to win the Stanley Cup. But if there is one thing that could motivate us more, it would be the opportunity to give Steve one more Cup before he goes out.”
Kirk Maltby
“I think so. The Stanley Cup is our goal. That's what we want to win, and nothing else is acceptable for us.”
