We found out tonight how important and how crucial momentum swings can be. I thought we were playing very well. We were doing a lot of positive things but then we lost the puck two times in our zone and things swung their way. You can't afford to give teams momentum.

10 QUOTES WITH «PUCK»

Famous quotes and sentences with the word puck.
1
Peter Bondra
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.
2
Patrick Chan
I know that, in hockey, the object of the game is simple in that you have to get the puck into the net. With figure skating, it's not as simple, and there is a ton of work that goes into it.
3
Bobby Clarke
We take the shortest route to the puck and arrive in ill humor.
4
Wayne Gretzky
A good hockey player plays where the puck is. A great hockey player plays where the puck is going to be.
5
Wayne Gretzky
I skate to where the puck is going to be, not where it has been.
6
Jaromir Jagr
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.
7
Saku Koivu
We found out tonight how important and how crucial momentum swings can be. I thought we were playing very well. We were doing a lot of positive things but then we lost the puck two times in our zone and things swung their way. You can't afford to give teams momentum.
8
Mario Lemieux
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.
9
Mark Messier
I think the idea of the obstruction through the neutral zone and away from the puck was an excellent rule.
10
Bobby Orr
The kids wait for it to be organized. They want to go play all of these tournaments, for a little practice time. I learned my skills by dropping the puck just with the kids. I think that's missing today.
