Quotes

 * Management wins Stanley Cups. Players can only do their best. You've got to bring the right ingredients to make a Stanley Cup winner and if the manager is not doing his job, the players can only do so much. You produce and do what's right, but if you don't have the talent there, you're not going to win many games.

 * When I first started playing, everything was outdoors. They were home-made community rinks. I played one game a year indoors. That would be the championship.
