My favorite of these is probably #2

[Fletch 219]

Heh...yeah, #2 is good. I like #3 too.

I guess Iafrate's quote on empty net goals wouldn't cut it in today's world and was left off the list. Hull's quote on Keenan is one of my all time favorites.

[Law Goalie 147]

#2 is brilliant, but #7 (Hull on Keenan) is just beautiful - like Yogi Berra on amphetamines.

[Fletch 219]

I remember Avery telling a reporter that he had told a player "Your dog is supposed to lick your face- not eat it."

[RadioGaGa 162]

Some other good ones not on that list, but are probably in the book somewhere. Hopefully I get these right:

"...there are 2 times when a drop pass is a bad idea...at home and on the road" (Toe Blake)

"...this is the kind of game that separates the men from the boys. Now let's get out there boys!" (Jacques Demers)

Haha they're tops

Wes Walz is a coach in TB...they were talking about him and how highly Lemaire spoke of his play in Minny:

"He's my 50 goal guy...he scores 15 and prevents 35"

I've heard lots but those are pretty awesome. Specially like number 2

I had a book when I was a kid that was similar to this, but I can't remember the title, it's subtext was "1,001 of Hockey's Best One-Liners." There were some classic ones in there.

That book sounds great. #2 is hilarious. I like #9 and #10 as well.

Here's a good one....

when Tony Amonte was asked about possessing the NHLs second-longest active playing streak a few years ago he replied, "It must be the body. It's chiseled out of marshmallows."

[Stampeder 2]

I forget who it was, but I liked when the one coach was screaming at the Ref "Have another donut"

[RadioGaGa 162]

Jim Schoenfeld...can't remember who the ref was....but Ray Scapinello (back when he had hair) is the guy holding Jimmy back.

[dalebert 8]

Don Koharski was the ref.

[furlanitalia 1]

"It weighs 35 pounds. Except when you lift it."

"I can't hear what Jeremy says because my ears are blocked with my 2 Stanley Cup rings.”

[RadioGaGa 162]

"I can't hear what Jeremy says because my ears are blocked with my 2 Stanley Cup rings.”

Damn...wish I'd remembered that one. CLASSIC!

"It weighs 35 pounds. Except when you lift it."

who was this from?

[adam14 182]

i heard it in the nhl playoff commercial last year.. only reason i recognise it..

[furlanitalia 1]

Yah it has a montage of players lifting the cup (really well done) then finishes with gretzky holding it above his head. The first part comes up: "It weighs 35 pounds", then after a couple seconds: "except when you lift it." Gave my goosebumps.

[adam14 182]

in case anybody hasnt seen it.
