Im not sure if this is right word for word but i liked Brian Burke's saying last year "If you come looking for a square dance in our barn you'll find one". Instant classic.

Brian Burke had another classic. It was something like "Sedin is not sweedish for punch me"!

Its something like that.

Great Line my personal favorite is basically " That hit was a joke, thats a definition of a joke right there, the knee on kneee with Jochen thats a joke, its a f**in joke, its a complete joke.
I tried my best to paraphrase it in to my own words but thats Lindy Ruff on Tuckers hit on Jochen Hecht.

Actually I just read one of my favorite hockey related quotes right here on this site, by Andyhack, who wrote:

"Sincerely,

A guy who once totally lost interest in an otherwise stunning girl once he found out she was a Habs fan."

"You're playing worse every day and right now you're playing like the middle of next week."


I absolutely love that one...I didn't realize it was Brooks though.


A couple of my favourites are: (and I paraphrase here) "We were losing at home, we couldn't win on the road, my only shortcoming as a coach was that I couldn't think of anywhere else to play" I think that was Harry Neale.

And: "If you can't beat them in the alley, you can't beat them on the ice" and that was Conn Smythe, I believe.

There are so many good ones.

I've always liked this story about Gump Worsley (copied from wikipedia)

"Gump was known for his wry sense of humour and various eccentricities. Early in his career with the Rangers, when he was regularly facing 40-50 shots a night, he was asked; "Which team gives you the most trouble?

His reply - The New York Rangers."

Ahhh, yes, another one of the best. He really ticked off management with that one.

He reminds me of the wizard of Oz, where you comb his hair, put on a white shirt on and wheel him out in front of the camera and he’s gonna say whatever you guys want…clearly it’s a crusade of self promotion on his part at this point…you know, what goes around comes around in this league

I almost wet my pants I was laughing so hard when Mac T said this. Absolutely awesome!

After game 4, Roenick told the media "there should have been a penalty shot [on the play]. I like Patrick's comment when he said he could have stopped me [on the breakaway]. I'd like to know where Patrick was in Game 3, probably up trying to get his jock out of the rafters." Roy retorted with his now-famous line, "I can't really hear what Jeremy says, because I've got my two Stanley Cup rings plugging my ear."


Another absolute Gem.

Even though I dont like him, Pronger has a great line when asked if he'll miss any time with an injury.

That one was also great.

Im a big fan of JR but hearing that was just to good.

Roy really made Roenick eat his own words.
