"If you want to talk about trash talking, you're talking Snowy. He's one of the best."
"Anytime you walk around the corner, all you ever hear about is Mike and the '80 Olympic team. This group of guys, we have a strong feeling of pride in playing for our country."
"I'm from the same town (Winthrop, Mass.) as Mike Eruzione, so every time you walk around the corner that's all you hear about is Mike and the '80 Olympic team. I think this group of guys has a strong feeling of pride about playing for our country."
"That goal was awful. It hits my glove, hits my mask, goes off my shoulder, goes off my stick and goes in."
"It's random testing, right, ... They see me and every time it's, 'OK Rick, you're up.'"
"It's a great honor. It's something as a kid you dream about. I remember watching the (1992) Olympics, with Ray LeBlanc. It's an exciting time. It's a great opportunity and a great challenge."
"The clerk saw their last name and took care of them. Told them where to go and what to do. My grandfather's from Italy. I've been all over Europe but never here. That's what makes it so exciting."
"That was a brutal move, I should've just stayed in the net. That was embarrassing."
"We came out these last two games with fire in our bellies, ... These last two games have been pretty intense, but at the end of the day, they don't ask you how you won, but if you won."
"They're a little bright. But they stopped the puck."
Go, you move we go, now don't go You move we don't, now go Now don't you move we won't go now don't go go I thought the way that she moved, meant the way that she tasted I could rip these things right through her lips Captivating experience that left me here, with an intoxicating kiss But tonight, I'm setting all my memories aside So why don't we trace the footsteps back into our past with the ones we've lost? Too many bad mistakes were made, no one should have to take the fall for it when it's our life to live Go, you move we go, now don't go You move we don't, now go Now don't you move we won't go now don't go go Found out the way that he moved, found out the way that he tasted Then he ripped these things right from her lips Never thinking the first time that they met, would be the last she saw of him Is glamor an issue, while balancing reason? All we are waiting to destroy The things in life we are made of, a blessing we're tasting And comes a point to recreate I could build the expansion, resembling patterns Disguising everything and what we have to relive And this all for this one dance So why don't we trace the footsteps back into our past, with the ones we've lost? Too many bad mistakes were made, no one should have to take the fall for it when it's our life to live I am watching over you from the stars Don't be scared, I know exactly where you are Cause there's a piece of me and it's burning in your heart
