Stan Butler Quotations

Work hard and play well away from the puck.

He wants to play in the league. And he's the best overage goaltender available.

He'll be as good as he wants to be. He needs some consistency. He shows flashes of brilliance. He has to have a big year-- for him and the team.

He'll be a high NHL pick. He'll be a first round pick.

This year we know where we're going with our defense. And that's uncommon at this time of year.

When you have a system based on recruiting and not coaching these problems exist. It is our system that encourages people to recruit early. ... People find loopholes.

At one time, I think we were as much as 14 or 15 points behind the Colts. There are still three games to go and, if nothing else, we've made it interesting for the guys in Barrie.

A lot of teams in junior hockey go on a three-year cycle. We wanted to put together a competitive team every year.

It's like Scott and I each took a seed and planted it in a garden. There's nothing more we'd like than to see those seeds grow into a championship.

They beat Toronto quite easily, so it shows how talented a team they are. There's no doubt they have a very strong team.

Their goaltending wasn't that good. But the last time (Savage) shut us out 3-0.

He's outstanding. He's been very good. He plays a North American game, very physical. He's a good two-way player with an offensive touch.

He's very fast, very skilled and very strong. I thinks he's a good pick at No. 14.

George has been a real pleasant surprise. He's a complete player, and he's pretty physical for his size.

He battles hard. Pound for pound he might be the toughest guy in the league.
