"The Player of the Year means a lot because it's from your peers. That is like the ultimate compliment. The money list doesn't really interest me that much only because if you play more, you have a better chance of making more money and I don't play that many events. I'm concentrating on the bigger events. If I can win more events than anyone in a year and more majors than anyone in a year, it's going to be a great year."
Quote by -Tiger Woods
"I did envisage being this successful as a player, but not all the hysteria around it off the golf course."
Quote by -Tiger Woods
"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."
Quote by -Tiger Woods
"As a kid, I might have been psycho, I guess, but I used to throw golf balls in the trees and try and somehow make par from them. I thought that was fun."
Quote by -Tiger Woods
"Don't force your kids into sports. I never was. To this day, my dad has never asked me to go play golf. I ask him. It's the child's desire to play that matters, not the parent's desire to have the child play. Fun. Keep it fun."
Quote by -Tiger Woods
"Maybe somebody is thinking I'm a favorite, but it's the Olympic Games and you never know who can win."
Quote by -Irina Slutskaya
"Against a team like Detroit, they'll make you pay when you give up those high-quality scoring chances."
Quote by -Craig MacTavish
"There are a lot of teams looking for one more save a night. We're one of them."
Quote by -Craig MacTavish
"I like an even-keel team, a team that doesn't get seduced by any success you have or disabled by any of your disappointments along the way."
Quote by -Craig MacTavish
"The guys are starting to play well in front of him, and we're getting the consistent performance we were looking for from the position."
Quote by -Craig MacTavish
"That just confirms my philosophy that the less you want something, the more likelihood of it occurring. This was a game that we really didn't care all that much about, so automatic win."
Quote by -Craig MacTavish
"It's going to be very entertaining, very pressure-filled hockey from here till the end. When you find yourself five points out of the division lead and three points out of ninth, there's a lot at stake."
Quote by -Craig MacTavish
"Players like him are seldom available. He's just good all-around. Reading the rush, good stick, use of his body, making the outlet pass, reading plays."
Quote by -Craig MacTavish
"Hockey moulds and reveals character. The root of it is really built into the character of the person."
Quote by -Craig MacTavish
"(The loss is) hard to slough off. It's going to linger for a while. Given any other circumstances, this would be a game we could quickly get over and start focusing on San Jose Friday. It was one of those games where we deserved better."
Quote by -Craig MacTavish
"We have to play a much more intelligent game then what we played the last three games. We've been sloppy for three straight games now and you can't hope to win at this level making those types of mistakes."
Quote by -Craig MacTavish
"It's a huge cop-out to talk about a goalie when you only score two goals. Playing goal for our team, the way we're putting the puck in the net lately, is very difficult."
Quote by -Craig MacTavish
"(Chris) Chelios got a couple penalties in the second period, but there's no question that they willed the influence over the officials. Part of that is the inexperience. I'm not saying we didn't deserve a number of those penalties, but there were a number that I thought were poor calls."
Quote by -Craig MacTavish
"We haven't had too many trips this year below .500. Three points out of four games isn't a total disaster."
Quote by -Craig MacTavish
"It's another example that you have to take care of every aspect of our game. Otherwise it ends up being a loss."
Quote by -Craig MacTavish
"It's another example of how you have to lock down every last detail, or you don't win. We played a very good third period, only allowed them four shots on goal and they scored on two of them because they were quality chances that came as a direct result of our mistakes."
Quote by -Craig MacTavish
"You miss a guy with that intensity. He sets a great example for everybody, in terms of work ethic and selflessness."
Quote by -Craig MacTavish
"It's a different standard with those two. It seems like you get credited for having the courage to call everything."
Quote by -Craig MacTavish
"I really enjoy playing with someone else and whether it's chess or tennis or games, I love card games. I love that, but I think there's something so important to gain from winning and losing and learning how to lose and how you can be better from that."
Quote by -Hilary Swank
"It was just that type of game where he didn't have that many odd-man rushes. [It's] just the way the game went. We've seen him play a few games so far, and we look forward to a great season from him."
Quote by -Mario Lemieux

"I think so. Not only (because of) his talent, but the way he thinks about the game. He's dedicated to the game of hockey. A lot of guys have had talent in the past, but to put the mind that he has with his talent is special."
Quote by -Mario Lemieux
"He's adjusted very well. He plays with the kids a lot and he's very chatty. He talks all the time. The kids love him. We talk a lot, have dinner together every night."
Quote by -Mario Lemieux
"I can no longer play at the level I was accustomed to in the past. That has been very frustrating to me throughout this past year. That's a big part of why I'm retiring."

Quote by -Mario Lemieux
"He (Crosby) is our best player, night-in and night-out, that's incredible. He just keeps getting better."
Quote by -Mario Lemieux

Quote by -Mario Lemieux
"Maybe he just turned 18, but look how he played in our last (preseason) game, ... He was one of the best players on the ice, making plays, with his skating and his strength, handling the puck. Give this kid a couple of years, he's going to do some damage."
Quote by -Mario Lemieux
"It's going to be tough. For us to get in the playoffs, we have to win 10 or 12 games in a row and get back in it. That's the only way we can do it."
Quote by -Mario Lemieux
"The chances are there, it's going to come, ... One of these games, we are going to explode for a few goals and get our confidence back. I think the guys are a little uptight right now."

Quote by -Mario Lemieux
"Maybe he just turned 18, but look how he played in our last [exhibition] game. He was one of the best players on the ice, making plays, with his skating and his strength, handling the puck. Give this kid a couple of years, he's going to do some damage."
