Oh, fuck you! Fuck you, pal! There you go again trying to pass the buck. I'm the source of all your misery. Who closed the store to play hockey? Who closed the store to go to a wake? Who tried to win back his ex girlfriend without even discussing how he felt about it with his present girlfriend? 'I'm not even supposed to be here today.' You sound like an asshole! Jesus, nobody twisted your arm to be here today. You're here under your own volition. You like to think that the weight of the world rests on Dante's shoulders. Like this place would fall apart if Dante wasn't here. Christ, you overcompensate for what's basically a monkey's job. You push fucking buttons. Anybody can just waltz in here and do our jobs. You're so obsessed with making it seem so much more epic and important than it really is. You work at a convenience store, Dante! And badly, I might add! I work at a shitty video store, badly as well. That guy Jay's got it right, man. He's got no delusions about what he does. Us, we like to think that we're so much more advanced than the people that come in here everyday to buy paper, or, god forbid, cigarettes. Well, if we're so fucking advanced, what are we doing working here?

One of the biggest things that people say is that kids love football, they love baseball, they love soccer, they love basketball, but put a hockey stick in their hands and we'll find out where their true love is.

People come down for baseball or football or hockey and drive by the refurbished Fox and State theaters, they see the new Hard Rock Cafe, the Borders bookstore, the bars and restaurants, the loft conversions. You can't drive around and not see what's happening down here.

What a huge game, just to play the USA, the powerhouse of baseball. We can play baseball, too. We're not just a hockey country.
|
Baseball happens to be a game of cumulative tension but football, basketball and hockey are played with hand grenades and machine guns.
|
We got CBC, NBC, ESPN, everything. Trust me, I was out enjoying the weather, but I caught all the highlights later. I was pretty much up to date on everything, whether it was hockey or whatever.

You want your sister to lose weight, tell her to get off the couch, stop eating twinkies and maybe go out for field hockey, and you know what, no-one knows what they wanna be when they grow up! you know it takes a little time to find that out. And you, you sick of some jerk shoving your head down the toilet? Well maybe you should lift some weights or take a karate lesson and the next time he tries it you kick him in the balls!

Football is the fourth most popular sport in America after American Football, baseball, basketball and ice hockey.

Happy During high school, I played junior hockey and still hold two league records most time spent in the penalty box and I was the only guy to ever take off his skate and try to stab somebody.
|
I don't like my hockey sticks touching other sticks, and I don't like them crossing one another, and I kind of have them hidden in the corner. I put baby powder on the ends. I think it's essentially a matter of taking care of what takes care of you.
|
We're just playing pretty solid hockey right now and not making too many big mistakes. Five on five, we're making it really tough for teams to play us. We're skating, and we're not giving them a lot of opportunities in our end, for the most part. We have to continue to play like that.

Hockey is a sport for white men. Basketball is a sport for black men. Golf is a sport for white men dressed like black pimps.
|
Going through two years of junior, it taught me a lot about myself, how I can handle it, ... You have to worry about hockey. Handle stuff outside of that when you need to, but just worry about hockey. That's what I learned.
|
Basketball, hockey and track meets are action heaped upon action, climax upon climax, until the onlooker's responses become deadened. Baseball is for the leisurely afternoons of summer and for the unchanging dreams.
|
Canada is a country whose main exports are hockey players and cold fronts. Our main imports are baseball players and acid rain.
|
Melpomene was a substantial girl, thick of bosom, ankle, and forearm, rosy of cheek, and clear of eye. She seemed somehow incomplete without her hockey stick.
|
I just gave that opportunity to Steve. That doesn't mean (Samuelsson) isn't going to. ... He is a heck of a hockey player. I talked to him about it. I wanted to get Steve going and to give him an opportunity.
|
I went to a fight the other night, and a hockey game broke out.
|
Here lies Charles Cuevas. He once said 'Gimme hockey, or gimme death.' He didn't quite get hockey.
|
A good hockey player plays where the puck is. A great hockey player plays where the puck is going to be.
|
The place was always cold, and I got the feeling that the fans would have enjoyed baseball more if it had been played with a hockey puck.
|
It is great when the coaching staff and the organization has the faith in you that you can get the job done. What I'm doing right now is working hard, and playing good hockey.
|
I think it's kind of getting old talking about it, to be honest with you. It's something where we just have to play hockey and not worry about the officials, who we have total confidence in.
|
Hockey is the original extreme sport.
|
Dallas is not only a great sports town, it has become a great hockey town.
|
Give blood. Play hockey.
|
Certainly we're not satisfied with just winning games. We've been playing some pretty good hockey, but we think we can play much better.
|
Why doesn't the fattest man in the world become a hockey goalie?
|
I didn't anticipate anything ââ?¬â? I was just showing up and seeing what the town and people were about, but it was a very welcoming sight. I'm sure the energy and excitement in town are going to rub off on the players. It's nice to see everybody's so excited about getting hockey started.
|
I don't know why Shanahan plays so well against Nashville. He gets all excited because Nashville is such a good hockey team.
