Wayne Gretzky
 [But the most convincing determinant was the] fun ... I found a passion for coaching and liking it, so here I am today. |
| [From the ownership perspective, the Olympics has done little to spike interest in the NHL after the last two Games and, from a marketing perspective, has done little more than expose the NHL product as dull and inferior. With the Games in Europe, the impact will be even less than it was in Salt Lake in 2002 and the travel will be much harder.] The tough part now is that we're in a different situation than we were in 2002, ... We just missed one full season and I know there's probably some concerns from owners, probably more in the United States, in the sense of getting started again and trying to build that enthusiasm for the National Hockey League again and then having to shut it down for 17 days. |
| [Gretzky professed happiness with living in Thousand Oaks, Calif., and serving as the Coyotes' managing partner.] You know what? I love New York, ... But I love my family situation in the southwest for my kids. |
| [Gretzky, the league's all-time leading scorer, downplayed the role he can play in getting hockey back on its feet.] We all have a responsibility to the game, ... Everything I have in my life is because of the NHL. Yet I'm a small part of going forward with this game. No one individual is bigger or better than our sport. |
| [Phoenix managing partner Wayne Gretzky is concerned that if the NHL and the players' association don't agree to a new collective bargaining agreement soon, the next season will be lost as well as this one.] If this is not decided in the next few days, I'm scared we could be looking at a year, a year and a half, two years, not just three months like a lot of people thought in September, ... From April to October, the players don't get paid, so I can't see us coming to an agreement in August or September. If we don't find a way to make everyone who is part of this sort of happy and get a deal done, we could be looking at a long, long time before hockey is played in the NHL and that's very alarming too. I hope in the next couple of weeks we can come to an agreement. |
| [The Great One isn't promising great things right away from the Phoenix Coyotes. Merely contending for the Stanley Cup would be fine for a start.] There's no perfect coach in the world, ... Coaches are human, too. Mistakes are made. But, fundamentally, if you're sound you eliminate as many mistakes as possible. |
| [Working] has been the best remedy for me. |
| A combination of a lot of things. |
| A good hockey player plays where the puck is. A great hockey player plays where the puck is going to be. |
| A lot of players on this team have played for this coaching staff. That gives us a little bit of a leg-up experience we didn't have in 2002. |
| All I know is that we've played pretty hard against this team. I think we have a great deal of respect for them. If you respect your opponent, you're going to be ready to play. |
| Am I concerned for both of them? Sure, there's concern. I'm more worried about them than for me. I'm kind of like you guys, I'm trying to figure it all out, too. |
| As a coach, I've learned really there's not enough time in the day to get ready for the next opponent, ... You're always looking for an angle, and it just seems like you always run out of time to get ready for the next game. |
| As I said seven days ago, it doesn't involve me. I'm not involved. I've said it for seven days, it's over and done with. |
| As I said to the players after the game, the difference right now is a team like Detroit, you can feel their belief. They believe in what they're doing and they believe they're going to win. You have that feeling when you walk by their locker room. And our team is a little bit fragile right now. |
