It's not good enough just to hold your head high because you're one of the highest-paid players in the NHL. It's not good enough to be one of the most popular guys in the NHL or to have a social media following. What are you trying to accomplish?

P.K. Subban

We know there are a lot of good secondaries out there. We are just trying to focus on what we can do to get better. We've got some new, young guys coming in and we are trying to catch them up to speed. We are trying to make sure that we have depth, making sure the guys behind us know what is going on. We are going to keep pushing each other to raise the standard for our secondary.

Eric Berry

Listen, man, everybody has their own journey, obstacles, and some people get built through promotional companies to be a star, but really haven't fought the best guys out there. And then you have guys that really earned their spot and that happens to be me.

Demetrius Andrade

Many European guys go to the N.H.L. at a young age, even without knowing English. But they quickly adapt to new conditions, another game, a new country. They are also young, receptive, can move mountains.

Jaromir Jagr

A generation of men really built the NFL and gave guys like me a shot, and a lot of these guys are left out in the cold by the league and forgotten.

Chris Borland

I took a lot of pride, honestly, in hiring these young guys, that not only to become future head coaches, but I wanted young guys that could help me - guys that can coach, guys that could study, guys that loved it, that would do it for nothing. That's how I got into coaching with the 49ers when John McVay hired me.

Jon Gruden

I wasn't really built for athleticism or speed, I always had to rely on my mind and my instincts.

Jared Dudley

You need young guys to come in and play like older guys, really help the team and produce.

Brad Marchand

I would like to see more airplay for all artists, no matter what age. I think there's a lot of money being spent toward the young guys, but a lot of the older guys are the ones who blazed the trail for those young guys.

Willie Nelson

Especially young guys, it's always fun to see young guys come in and have that same enthusiasm about playing a certain way and fitting into a certain role and going after guys, trying to get them off their game.

Brad Marchand

It's a dream come true to be part of an NHL team, to be a regular in the NHL, to live the life, to make the money and do all that stuff.

Martin Brodeur

When you have a new coach, a couple new guys, and a young team, the frustrating part throughout the year is the up and down.

Luol Deng

We have so many guys in the NHL who can lead by example and I embrace being a role model for a lot of kids.

P.K. Subban

I wrote 'Young Guns' on spec because I really believed that the young age of these guys historically, the whole legend of Billy dying at 21, would attract a young staple of stars, and that would be the game-changer.

John Fusco

I found during my time covering the NHL that the enforcers were some of the most accessible guys and the most low-key guys. I think that's somewhat of a natural thing. I don't know if that's because it's the big guy that everybody fears, and then you're sort of surprised and taken by the fact that he's actually a nice guy.
