Terry Sawchuk famous quotes

Last updated: Sep 5, 2024

  • I grew up trying to play for the Toronto Maple Leafs, not Team Canada. Didn't even know it existed.

  • People didn't know the difference between a blue line and a clothes line.

  • I guess I lost a little bit of self-esteem that time that you made it with the whole hockey team.

  • Hockey is my life, you know. If I do not play hockey, I do not know what I do.

  • The gods have fled, I know. My sense is the gods have always been essentially absent. I do not believe human beings have played games or sports from the beginning merely to summon or to please or to appease the gods. If anthropologists and historians believe that, it is because they believe whatever they have been able to recover about what humankind told the gods humankind was doing. I believe we have played games, and watched games, to imitate the gods, to become godlike in our worship of eachother and, through those moments of transmutation, to know for an instant what the gods know.

  • You can do as many sprints as you want but there's nothing like playing in a 90-minute soccer game. There's no better way to gain your fitness, in my opinion, than playing in consistent games.

  • This is my last Commonwealth Games. Five CWG and nine medals, it is enough for me.

  • You're a trivial part in a trivia game. Now what's your aim? A presidential campaign? Like Ross Perot? He lost it though... But he got a billion in tha bank fo' sho'!

  • The World Series is played in my doubtless too-nostalgic imagination in some kind of autumn afternoon light, and seeing it exclusively in the bitter chill of midnight breaks the spell of even the best of games.
