On Ortio's travel:
Check with NORAD. He's like tracking down Santa
On Gaudreau skating with the puck:
He's just as fast with puck as he is without it. Some players look like they're skating with a curling rock
On Monahan's low maintenance personality:
It's like riding a canoe on a small lake - there's no big waves with Monny
On the media's pre-season criticisms of the Flames:
At the start of the year, we were getting rocks thrown at us. Now, it's a bouquet of flowers
On Hiller's last second stop against Washington:
I couldn't stretch Gumby like the way he stretched on that save
On Nicklas Backstrom:
He's so smart with the puck...he's like a computer on skates
On Canucks new coach, Willie Desjardins:
I met Willie the other day in the big hallway. I felt it might be cheaper than the little one
