I was just looking for the actual quote from Tie Domi complaining that the NHL is dirty, since it is hilarious.. haven't found it yet but have come across some good quotes in the mean time. (Some of them are several years old, so players have switched teams)
Jeremy Roenick, "Yeah, I’m cocky and I am arrogant. But that doesn’t mean I’m not a nice person."
***
Carolina coach Paul Maurice on the late penalty calls by ref Richard Trottier, "Maybe aliens came down and took over his helmet." (LMAO)
***
Tony Amonte on possessing the NHL’s second-longest active playing streak, "It must be the body. It’s chiseled out of marshmallows."
***
Edmonton’s Georges Laraque about Donald Brashear after they fought three seconds into a game, "We hate each other. People assume that we respect each other because we’re black. We don’t." Brashear responds, "Georges is a young guy who doesn’t know what’s happening in the league yet. I gave him his chance. I’ll go with his again, but on my conditions, when I feel like it." In addition Laraque says of Brashear, "He’s a sissy. He talks like he’s Wayne Gretzky. I tried to get him to go, but he says the team misses him when he’s off the ice for five minutes."
***
"All of a sudden he’s hurt and I’ve got to get the popcorn out of my teeth,"Phoenix stopper Bob Esche when called to replaced Bob Essensa in a 5-2 win over Detroit.
***
Carolina owner Peter Karmanos on his refusal to deal with Keith Primeau, "We refuse to pay a prima donna, a petulant, pouting player who had 30 goals last year the same money as Toronto is paying Mats Sundin or Pittsburgh is paying Jaromir Jagr."
***
Pavol Demitra on his 1.1 million US Dollar salary, "To get my paycheque for two weeks, my family must work 200 years in Slovakia," (how about now that his paycheck is $3,975,000.00/yr?)
***
Buffalo’s Dixon Ward about the winless Sabres (0-5-2), "Until we get an apology we’re not going to win a game. We vow not to win until we get an apology from Bettman."
***
Phoenix GM Bobby Smith, "We’re looking forward to building the type of team the Rangers are able to buy."
***
When Ken Hitchcock moved Brett Hull to the fourth line with Benoit Hogue and Brian Skrudland he remarked, "The most expensive fourth line in the history of hockey. The most expensive and the most talkative."
***
Sandy McCarthy on his conflict with Tie Domi, "I tried to embarass him enough. That was my idea. I gave him a ball check but he didn't find them." http://jockethebeast.qbrpgs.com/smilies/lol.gif
***
When Chris Chelios got traded to Detroit, Darren McCarty strolled over to the stick rack and grabbed one of Chelios’ sticks, "First time I’ve ever been this close to one without it being broken over my head."
***
Playoff battle between Devil’s Lyle Odelein and the Sabres Matthew Barnaby: Says Barnaby, "Cornelius as we like to call him gets under your skin. Planet of the Apes. Look at him. Seriously. He looks like Cornelious." Responds Odelein, "He should take a look at his wife. She’s god-awful to look at."
***
Paul Howard of Minneapolis on the fringe benefits of having a zamboni around, "The shavings are great for packing beer kegs. Packs better than ice cubes, lasts longer and it’s cheaper."
***
Flyer coach Roger Neilson on his teams vote to spend four off days in New Orleans, "I was a little worried about the drinking, but they assured me they would be drinking everywhere we went."
***
Broadcaster Ron MacLean on his four year contract renewal, "As always, I remain hopeful that Don Cherry won’t be offered the same length contract."
***
Welcome to Hockey Night in Nashville, where so far the first-year Predators can make only one claim in Music City. "We're going to be the best in the league at something," coach Barry Trotz said. "We're deep in anthem singers."
***
Doug Gilmour on joining ex-rival Chris Chelios, "It’s going to be good to be on his side, I’ll save a lot of energy. I don’t have to concentrate on whacking him. I’m pretty excited about that."
