Puck Quotes
A good hockey player plays where the puck is. A great hockey player plays where the puck is going to be.
Wayne Gretzky
When I'm able to see the ice ahead of time when I get the puck, I'm able to make some pretty good plays.
Mario Lemieux
The players don't play the position game as much as we used to play. A lot of young guys go up and down, shoot the puck, go for the rebounds. You're getting tired quicker because the body has to react where the puck is going to go. You cannot read it, because you don't have the puck on your stick.
Jaromir Jagr
I think the idea of the obstruction through the neutral zone and away from the puck was an excellent rule.
Mark Messier
First of all, when I was making the decision, I never thought that Pittsburgh fans would want me back. Every time I played there, they were booing me every time I touched the puck. I didn't think it would be such a big deal that I didn't sign with Pittsburgh.
Jaromir Jagr
Sometimes that happens. I know how it feels to lose eight or nine to nothing. It can be frustrating but it was good for us. This was a team that was hot the last nine games. It seemed like any puck we touched went our way.
Peter Bondra
I like ice hockey, but it's a frustrating game to watch. It's hard to keep your eyes on both the puck and the players and too much time passes between scoring in hockey. There are usually more fights than there are points.
Andy Rooney
