Great moments are born from great opportunity
“Great moments are born from great opportunity, and that's what you have here tonight, boys. That's what you've earned here tonight. One game; if we played them ten times, they might win nine. But not this game, not tonight. Tonight, we skate with them. Tonight we stay with them, and we shut them down because we can. Tonight, we are the greatest hockey team in the world.
You were born to be hockey players—every one of you, and you were meant to be here tonight. This is your time. Their time is done. It's over. I'm sick and tired of hearing about what a great hockey team the Soviets have. Screw 'em. This is your time. Now go out there and take it!" I was 9 when this happened. I didn’t really understand the significance of it then but I remember that night. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Lots of bad coaches push their guys hard, I think what separates him and those like him is that he makes a team better than the sum of its parts. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
