Success requires no explanations, failure presents no alibis. - Fred Shero

Success is not the result of spontaneous combustion. You must first set yourself on fire.

We're in a weird position. All year long people keep telling us that we're bad for hockey, bad for the NHL, bad for Canada because we're too rough. Now we're supposed to save the game for the NHL, for Canada, for everyone. Hah! For the first time we're the good guys.

Be more concerned with your character than your reputation. For your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are.
