Ian Laperriere Quote Book

 

2008 - 2009

Quotes From Lappy

 

 

"I like his positive energy.  I think that's his biggest quality and he's got more experience now.  Sometimes, you get a new coach that you don't know and it's a tough transition.  It's one less thing in the summer you have to worry about as a player.  Everybody on the team likes him, and you want to play for a guy like that."

On the selection of Tony Granato as head coach - May 23, 2008 - Denver Post

 

 

"Everybody was starting to worry what Joe was going to do.  It's great news for more than one reason.  What he brings to the ice, everyone knows, Joe is Joe.  But what he brings to the locker room, the respect, everybody's so calm when he's around. That's what he brings that people don't see."

"For sure, I was worrying, and a bunch of us were worrying about what was going to happen because we know we're a much better team when he's in the lineup.  Now that he made the right decision, everybody's pumped.  We know how much better we are when Joe's in."

On Joe Sakic's decision to return for a 20th season - August 25, 2008 - Associated Press

 

 

"I don't care if he's 39.  He's such a special player.  He's such a special human being.  I'm pumped.  I'm excited to see him coming on the ice.  I can't emphasize enough what he brings to the team."

"...what people don't see is the way he is in the (locker) room.  For the younger guys - and for the older guys, too - players look up to him for what he does on a daily basis.  He's just a workhorse.  He works so hard on and off the ice.  He's a superstar, but he's a pro and a great example for everybody."
