Dave Tippett Rules Quotations

He was one of the first guys in my office when the new rules came out in training camp. 'What can I do and what can't I do?' It seems like all the rules were going against guys like him. I loved his attitude. He came in and addressed it right away and asked, 'How am I going to play these situations?' He studied it and has adapted very well.

I like what they're doing with the rules. The rules are taking players out of the game whose primary job is fighting and forcing teams to consider using players who can skate and play.

I like what they're doing with the rules.

He's a tremendous player who does everything so well. And he's going to be especially important under the new rules.
