Favorite
Henderson has scored for canada- Foster Huet
Least favorite- Calgary is advancing to the finals, almost every announcer in 2004
what do Calgary and a tea bag have in common- they're both only good for one cup |

Pucknuts beat me to my favourite, I cannot believe it! Conn Smythe's quote is classic old-school hockey.
That Gretzky quote came up a few weeks ago in another thread. I have seen Gretzky talk about this statement and he worded it quite differently. I have always known it to be " 100% of the shots you don't take, don't go in". Slats also quotes it this way (I believe it is in "Boys on the Bus").
Other good ones...
"We take the shortest route to the puck and arrive in ill humour" - Bobby Clarke
"Half the game is mental, the other half is being mental" - Jim McKenny
"You're playing worse and worse every day and right now you are playing like it is the middle of next week" - Herb Brooks
"We couldn't win at home, we were losing on the road, my only problem as a coach was that I couldn't think of anywhere else to play" - Harry Neale |

The limit of x^3 as x approaches zero is...indeed zero! From the left and the right. What do ya know, you can make 100% of the shots you never take 
Anyway, the second-place winner for favorite quotes would be this: "Gary Bettman is a dink" --Chris Chelios

If you don't take any you're 0 for 0, and 0/0 is undefined, not 100%
Well mik, it is undefined, but depending on the limits around the point zero we could get Waynes hypothesis. Suppose for arguments sake, that the # of shots you take is defined by the real function, x, and the goal scoring function is defined by the function x^.5, then as I go to 0, then I miss infinately many of the shots I don't take...or if the goal scoring fuction is x^3, then I miss none of the shots I don't take..hahahahaha....I'm just messing around.
My favorite quote is by JR: " Look at me, wake up league!"
