Jerrydevil Posted October 24, 2002 Share Posted October 24, 2002 "I'm not drinking any more of Lou's Kool-Aid" is one of the best quotes associated with this team I have ever heard, not far from "Have another doughnut" by Jim Schoenfeld. If any of you could come up with some others, I think it would make for a fun thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SueNJ97 Posted October 24, 2002 Share Posted October 24, 2002 I like the one that (gulp) Kyydax uses on his posts. The Claude one, something like, "He's right, I am a Cancer, I was born on July 16th." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerrydevil Posted October 24, 2002 Author Share Posted October 24, 2002 That Lemieux one is real good. How about Gretzky calling the Devils a "Mickey Mouse organization." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SueNJ97 Posted October 24, 2002 Share Posted October 24, 2002 That Lemieux one is real good. How about Gretzky calling the Devils a "Mickey Mouse organization." Yeah, but Wayne followed it up with an even more gracious one when he heard NJ was upset: "Geez, you'd think I insulted Miss Newark or something."

Rock Posted October 24, 2002 Share Posted October 24, 2002 I heard a few old timers say it but I remember Gordie Howe "Trap? When I played we called it hockey. " During 1995 finals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nieda Posted October 24, 2002 Share Posted October 24, 2002 Captain Scott Stevens: "It's not over yet. We have to look at it as one game at a time, starting tomorrow." Bobby Holik: "There is no desperation. I think the best way to describe it is determination. I don't think we have to do anything differently, we just have to play 60 minutes the way we are capable of playing. We just have to be more focused and disciplined." Scott Niedermayer: "There is no choice, we have to go out and leave it all on the ice." Coach Larry Robinson: "It's beyond me, that if you consider yourself a winner, how you can go out and not give everything. You can't leave anything on the table."

Jerrydevil Posted October 24, 2002 Author Share Posted October 24, 2002 NF, I KNOW Bobby Holik's had better quotes than that! "Let me put it this way, Al, I can sleep at night." Rock, that Madden quote is priceless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rock Posted October 24, 2002 Share Posted October 24, 2002 I don't remember it exactly or who said it but it was something like first time I ever saw the name of that penalty fitting the crime. On Ftorek throwing the bench and getting a bench minor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerrydevil Posted October 24, 2002 Author Share Posted October 24, 2002 Here's a Scott Stevens classic about Fleury: "It's best just to stay away from him cause he's just going to flop and dive.

Nieda Posted October 24, 2002 Share Posted October 24, 2002 Toronto coach Pat Burns on the return to form of Doug Gilmour, "Dougie's back to his old self. He's even taking dumb penalties at the end of the game." Devils Mike Peluso on New Jersey meeting Detroit for the first time after last years playoffs, This is like Dallas and San Francisco meeting in the NFC final. It's what everybody lives for, although we don't have Deion Sanders yet." Devils Mike Peluso on the Stanley Cup tattoo on his upper left arm. He went to a tattoo artist in Alaska and, "I gave him too pictures, and he had me give him a $100 deposit so I wouldn't chicken out. It took two hours and it really hurt. I started thinking it was a good thing Mark Messier didn't get one every time he won a Cup." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SueNJ97 Posted October 24, 2002 Share Posted October 24, 2002 Since we're doing so many Claude quotes here's another one, this took place right after Claude's divorce from wife #1 became final. Claude & Benoit Hogue (who don't like each other) are fighting for the puck near the Devs bench. Claude says, "Why don't you get down on the ice & push the puck along with your nose?" Hogue replies, "How's your wife?" Devs bench answers (almost in unison), "Very rich!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerrydevil Posted October 24, 2002 Author Share Posted October 24, 2002 How can we forget this one, by Matthew Barnaby, about Lyle Odelein. "Planet of the Apes. Look at him. He looks like Cornelius." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

devilsrule33 Posted October 24, 2002 Share Posted October 24, 2002 Noiw this quote by Larryw hich woke us up in the Philly series. Don't know the exact words but "until these players get it through their thick skulls that they need to listen to the coaches because if it was easy as that their wouldn't be coaches only players" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zamode Posted October 24, 2002 Share Posted October 24, 2002 I like the Madden/Ace one the best. I'll partake no further on said thread if Claude bashing is to continue. Doesn't anyone else besides myself and ^7^ like Claude?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beck27 Posted October 24, 2002 Share Posted October 24, 2002 I don't know if you all heard this story, but right before Ftorek got fired he was giving a "motivational speech" in the locker room in which he put the letters....mW on the drawing board. He then went around the room asking all the players if they knew what it meant. Of course nobody had a clue, so finally a furious Ftorek shouted at the players "It stands for the little me and the big We." I think the article on this was in sports illustrated or maybe tsn. Either way it had me on the floor when I read it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'7' Posted October 24, 2002 Share Posted October 24, 2002 "He brings something special. I don't know what it is, but if you ask him, you couldn't understand his answer." Wayne Gretzky on Ranger forward Esa Tikkanen I hate Tikkanen, but his interviews are great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
