League Quotes
-
We played a whole season unbeaten but you did not see me every week jumping on the tables. Once it's over it's over and you do in the next one as well as you can. Plenty of managers who have won the Champions League will not be considered great managers.
Arsene Wenger -
History is always important and I don't think you should ever kick in this league. I agree that when you do, you pay the price for it, but this is an extreme price. Using your skate is a problem, no question.
Bryan Murray
-

I don't like to compare clubs or players from way back. It's different today. Your ballparks are better. In the days when I played, we had eight teams in each league. Now you have more.
Red Schoendienst -
There is a double-standard between men and women. My father was a major league baseball player, and I grew up thinking I could have the same attitude on the field that he did. When I did that in real life, people thought I was a total bi-atch.
Katie Uhlaender -

Adriano Galliani
-
It's not like one player out of 600 is playing with an illegal stick. The list of guys playing with illegal sticks is pretty known around the league. It's like speeding on the road. You're not allowed to speed, but sit beside the 55-mph sign on I-85 at night and put your radar on it. Many people will easily go over.

Andre Reed -
At the beginning of the season, I set my goal to see if I can lead the league in scoring, because I feel I have that kind of ability. A lot of guys say it, but it's not really in their grasp. I feel that's really in my grasp.

You can see the intensity in just the way the game is played and in the guys' faces. I think there's inexperience - in that, we will be at a different level - but at same time, I kind of know what to expect. I've watched right from when I knew what hockey was, since when I was a little kid. I grew up watching the league all the time, and the playoffs. There are games every night of the week, so I loved it. Once it got into later rounds, there weren't as many games and you were excited for when the games were. It was a lot of fun.
