Steve Yzerman Quotes

I consider the Detroit Red Wings one of the greatest franchises in any sport. For a player to come in and play, it’s so special to wear the jersey Picture Quote #1

I knew if I wanted to be a general manager, I was going to have to leave to work for another organization Picture Quote #1

It’s been a great honor for me to be a player for the Detroit Red Wings, to play for an Original Six franchise. I know I’m far from perfect, but I learned a lot Picture Quote #1

Since the season ended, I’ve let things settle down, and I have to talk to the coaching staff and management. I really don’t want to turn this into a big drama. So I plan on making a definite decision relatively quickly Picture Quote #1

We have to get better at that. All of the Stanley Cup winning teams throughout the past few seasons, when they needed to play defense, they did it. If you can play defense, that’s when you know it’s game over Picture Quote #1

As long as I could remember, since I was 5 years old, I watched the Stanley Cup. I stayed up, made a point of watching it presented, watched the celebration in the locker room, and always dreamed that maybe I’d get there Picture Quote #1

We should’ve been better, more disciplined. We made untimely mistakes defensively, as a group. This is really humbling for us. After winning the Stanley Cup, we got brought back down to earth, hard. Maybe the humbling is good for us in the long run Picture Quote #1

We’re stuck in the middle and need to decide what kind of sport do we want to be. Either anything goes and we accept the consequences or take the next step and eliminate fighting Picture Quote #1

Whether somebody is really competent - whether he has a good hockey mind, whether he’s a good person to lead a hockey club - is something determined over a long period of time, not one tournament Picture Quote #1

Playoff hockey is the best way to market your team. It’s the best way to grow your fan base and give hope to your players and for them to develop Picture Quote #1

The 70’s hair with the long on the sides, just doesn’t look good coming down the sides of the helmet Picture Quote #1

We penalize and suspend players for making contact with the head while checking, in an effort to reduce head injuries, yet we still allow fighting. We’re stuck in the middle and need to decide what kind of sport do we want to be. Either anything goes and we accept the consequences, or take the next step and eliminate fighting Picture Quote #1

We have two tables on our airplane that are set up with the games Picture Quote #1

I hope people like me and appreciate me the way I am Picture Quote #1

When it gets to this point, it’s just hard to pull the trigger Picture Quote #1

I don’t know that I’d agree I was our best player Picture Quote #1

And for the team, I always tried to do the right thing Picture Quote #1

I mean, the best thing for my knee, for anyone’s knee, is to never play again and retire. But I’m not going to do that Picture Quote #1

Balanced is probably what I am, although that’s just a polite way to say that you don’t do anything very well Picture Quote #1

People here want the team to win and to do well. The thing is, we know when to shoot the puck Picture Quote #1

We’re stuck in the middle and need to decide what kind of sport do we want to be. Either anything goes and we accept the consequences or take the next step and eliminate fighting Picture Quote #1

When you’re on the ice, you have very little time, you see very little, and everything happens really quick Picture Quote #1

We used to play a lot outdoors, not in leagues, but just in our spare time Picture Quote #1

There used to be an old thing where every team had a heavy bag in their locker room for people to punch, but again, it was more about conditioning because if you hit a heavy bag for a minute, it feels like your arms are about to fall off Picture Quote #1

The 70’s hair with the long on the sides, just doesn’t look good coming down the sides of the helmet Picture Quote #1

It’s almost like you see too much, because when it happens for real, everything flies at you so fast, you never get a sense of the ice and where everyone is at that one moment Picture Quote #1

I’ve been hit hard a few times, been hit really hard a few times, but I don’t think I’ve ever left a memorable, lasting impression on anyone I’ve ever hit Picture Quote #1

I’m very confident my health isn’t going to allow me to be a good player, especially in the spring Picture Quote #1

I’m never gonna play again, and I know I’m really, really going to miss it Picture Quote #1

I don’t know if I’ve ever had a memorable body check. It’s not really part of my game Picture Quote #1
