sometimes it's what you say.....not how you say it

"The only difference between this and Custer's last stand was Custer didn't have to look at the tape afterwards".
- Terry Crisp, the ex-coach of the Tampa Bay Lightning. This quote was after a 10-0 loss to the Calgary Flames.


"We can't play stupid hockey, dumb hockey, greedy hockey, selfish hockey. We have to put the team ahead of our personal feelings".  - Terry Crisp, the ex-coach of the Tampa Bay Lightning.

 
"That's so when I forget how to spell my name, I can still find my clothes."
- Stu Grimson, Chicago Blackhawks left wing, explaining why he keeps a color photo of himself above his locker
 
”I know my players don't like my practises, but that's OK because I don't like their games.” - Harry Neale
 
”Last season we couldn't win at home and we were losing on the road. My failure was that I couldn't think of any place else to play.” - Harry Neale
 
”The three important elements of hockey are: forecheck, backcheck and paycheck.” - Gil Perreault
 
”Aw, don't worry about that Doc. If it happens I could always come back as a forward.” - Harold Snepsts
 
”Hockey is the only job I know where you get paid to have a nap on the day of the game.” - Chico Resch
 
”Goaltending is a normal job, sure. How would you like it in your job if every time you made a small mistake, a red light went on over your desk and 15,000 people stood up and yelled at you.” - Jacques Plante
 
”My former wife made me a millionaire. I used to have three million dollars.”- Bobby Hull
 
”Goaltenders are 3 sandwiches shy of a picnic. From the moment primitive man lurched erect, he survived on the principle that when something hard and potentially lethal comes toward you at great velocity, get the hell out of it's path.” - Jim Taylor
 
”The only way you can check Gretzky is to hit him when he is standing still singing the national anthem.” - Harry Sinden





                                       

Best of the Blooper Reel - Don't Let This Happen to You.......








Some loose change.......(a humorous look at Hockey)

Who’s the new guy?

        by Charlie Teljeur (syndicated columnist and creator of the Instigator cartoon series which ran on CBC HNIC)

Wow, amazing the amount of things that can happen when you spend your entire summer inebriated doing stuff.

Looking through the current NHL rosters I’m blown away by the amount of changes that have (evidently) happened over the course of these past three months (it’s hazy) or so. It’s kind of like when a girl moves into your place and she starts moving your cereal around. At first it’s simply upsetting – you like knowing where everything is – but, after a while, you begin to like the idea of having the Cocoa Puffs lined up alphabetically next to Count Chocula (brilliant, really).

So, to pay homage to Lucinda (I already miss her) and her breakfast-box-moving ways, let’s run through these player movements (fiber, fiber, fiber) that have struck me in one way or another. These ratings are strictly personal and, in no way, reflect the feelings of The Hockey News, my mother and that nasty little Pomeranian that growls every time I attempt to steal her food.

Where was I? Oh yeah, about those ratings…

Kudos to the New York Islanders who now have a Doug Weight, a lightweight (Mike Comrie) and some dead weight (Mike Sillinger).

Exceptional work by the Vancouver Canucks in signing Jason Krog who is, by far, my favourite Muppet.....MORE
