Rick Tocchet is what I call a warrior. He really brings a lot to a team because he really believes in team play. He's tough on himself and he's tough on the team. As a coach, if you had even one guy like him on your team, you'd have a heckuva chance to do your job well.

I don't have bad relationships with my players. But I don't get into long conversations with them either.

Statistics are for losers.

The goal is too small and the goalies are too big.

High sticking, tripping, slashing, spearing, charging, hooking, fighting, unsportsmanlike conduct, interference, roughing......everything else is just figure skating.

The better the coaching has become, the worse the game has become.

There is nothing so uncertain as a sure thing.
