Brendan Shanahan Quotes

[Many players are convinced that owners are attempting to divide the NHLPA. The owners' latest proposal called for players making less than $800,000 to maintain their current salaries while players making more than $5 million cut their salaries by 35 percent. If owners want to splinter the union, they're not going to be successful, Brendan Shanahan said.] The hockey mentality is that when we're challenged, we grow tighter together... One player or two might speak out and it might reflect (poorly) on the union, but 99 percent of the union will band together.

We can play better and we expect to play better. We play some of our best hockey on the road. If you're expecting easy, open-ice goals against this team, you're not gonna get it. But I don't think there's anyone in this locker room who doesn't think we can win in Edmonton. - Brendan Shanahan

We lost a couple players and our rotation got a little messed up. We found a way to win. Obviously, this is a team on the other side that has been finding ways to win. There's no quit in Columbus. We knew they were going to come back. We maybe have to show a little bit more poise in our own end late in games. - Brendan Shanahan
