A Quote by Brad Marchand

If you are not playing for the Stanley Cup at the end of the year, what's the point? If you don't win, you may as well not make the playoffs, because you are loser just like everyone else.
What I've learned so far from researching is that to win the Stanley Cup, you have to make the playoffs.
Well, of course you question it, especially when you get to this point. I always look at it would I rather not make the playoffs or lose in The Finals? I don't know. I don't know. I've missed the playoffs twice. I lost in The Finals four times. I'm almost starting to be like I'd rather not even make the playoffs than to lose in The Finals. It would hurt a lot easier if I just didn't make the playoffs and I didn't have a shot at it.
I love the Stanley Cup playoffs.
Anyone who plays in the NHL dreams to win the Stanley Cup and I dreamed as well to be one of them and raise the cup in Washington and bring it home to Moscow and celebrate with my friends and my parents.
The common vision is winning - and winning a World Cup. We have a three-year plan - win the World Cup, win the Olympics, win the Euros - and the common agreement is you want to create a legacy and win the World Cup; then, everything else falls into place.
It's obviously disappointing and surreal when you see someone else win the Stanley Cup.
Every year is a new year, and when you look at the turnover year to year, teams that made the playoffs last year aren't a guarantee to make the playoffs this year.
What pitching is in a short series in baseball, goaltending is in the Stanley Cup playoffs.
War of attrition, war of wills. That's what the Stanley Cup playoffs are - more intense, more physical and more prolonged than the playoffs of any other sport.
I don't just want to make the playoffs or get to the first or second round. When I compete or make it to the playoffs, I expect to win every time.
Every time when the season starts you have a goal, right? To reach the playoffs. You reach the playoffs, and then the next step is to win the Cup.
Very gifted people, they win and they win, and they are told that they win because they are a winner. That seems like a positive thing to tell children, but ultimately, what that means is when they lose, it must make them a loser.
The goal every year is to win the Super Bowl, not just to get to the playoffs, not just to win a few games.
The pressure of the World Series and the playoffs, it gets to you. But I hope I feel like that every year. Because hopefully we're playing into November every year.
My only goal is to win the Stanley Cup and do what I have to to win that.
We know we can't win the Cup every year. But we certainly can be in position to win the Cup every year, and if we've done that, I think we've earned our paycheck.
