more on Mogilny:
“During the lockout, remember they had that war chest and they were like, ‘OK, we’re going to give you stipends. How much money are you guys going to need a month? You’ve got to write it down.’
“Some guys were like $5,000/month, some guys were like $2,000.
“He (Mogilny) wrote down $120,000/month.
“I was sitting next to him like, ‘What are you doing?’ He was like, ‘A guy needs to live.’ He was serious.”
and Pat Quinn:
“Pat Quinn was a great coach, but even back then, the only thing he ever told me in probably a year and a half coaching me was, ‘Don’t go to your backhand kid. It sucks.’
“That was it. He never got mad at me. He was awesome. He was a great coach but there was no personal… you know what I mean? They didn’t break plays down, there wasn’t detail. We didn’t even do video.
“We had one video when I was there for the first playoffs (against St. Louis in 1995), it was a pump up video showing guys fighting and beating the shit out of the other team we were playing against.
“It was awesome.”
