A Quote by Ron Tugnutt
All my career I've gone to teams on the decline. I went to Quebec when they were losing the Stastny brothers. I went to Edmonton after they lost Gretzky and Messier. I went to Anaheim when it was an expansion team. I came to Montreal after they'd won the Cup and were headed down. I was beginning to think it was me.

There's this notion that actors choose their career. After a certain level, I think that that's true.

Bonjour to all the beautiful people of Montreal because this is like home to me. We had Sugar Ray Leonard here who changed the globe and took on Roberto Duran right here in Montreal.

Sugar Ray Leonard came in and Roberto Duran beat him - because we got our fair shake in Montreal.

So getting back to the core of that and building life by design, that is authentic.
I remembered some people who lived across the street from our home as we were being taken away. When I was a teenager, I had many after-dinner conversations with my father about our internment.
