“[I remember sitting with Brooks in his office, in late December 1999, not long after he'd taken over as coach of the Jaromir Jagr -controlled Penguins. It was a job Brooks didn't even want, and when the season ended he would relinquish it. Yet he seized the team with all his gusto.] I want speed, and excitement and I want our players to go out there and have the times of their lives, ... We're not going to be hanging around waiting for something to happen. We're going to make things happen ourselves.”
Herb Brooks

“Out started six officers, seized my bridle, put their pistols to my breast, ordered me to dismount, which I did. One of them, who appeared to have the command there, and much of a gentleman, asked me where I came from; I told him. He asked what time I left . I told him, he seemed surprised, said ''Sir, may I crave your name?'' I answered ''My name is Revere.”
Paul Revere

“Nothing interferes with my concentration. You could put on an orgy in my office and I wouldn't look up. Well, maybe once.”
