Terry Crisp Quotations

You can get an assist and have touched the (puck) way back in the middle of nowhere and done nothing.

Probably one of the quietest and best leaders I ever had was Al MacInnis. So unassuming, he just went about his thing, very, very professionally.

There's no doubt he was the key factor in us winning. People don't realize what a job he did. We lost his defense partner Gary Suter in the first round, so he was playing almost 30 minutes a night. And at a very high level.

You could go into the Boston rink and guys would get assists sitting on the bench. They'd throw them out like candy. ... Now it's more precise. Now they video it and replay it. I think the players too say, 'I didn't touch that' or 'It was his.' Because a lot of times you can't tell if it ticks a stick or just goes by.

We had the best power play in the league. Our wizardry was giving Al the puck.

The only difference between this and Custer's last stand was that Custer didn't have to look at the tape afterward.

On rookie Alex Selivanov, Yes the guy can score you 40 goals. Yes I love it. What I don't want is him causing 60.

If our goalies were in a divorce case, they could sue for lack of support and be millionaires tomorrow.

We can't play stupid hockey, dumb hockey, greedy hockey, selfish hockey. We have to put the team ahead of our personal feelings.
