Quotes 

• Craig Patrick : Hey, Doc, let me ask you a question.

  Doc : Well, of course.

  Craig Patrick : You've worked with Herb for a long time, right?

  Doc : I've known Herb for quite some time.

  Craig Patrick : So let me ask you, does he always treat his players like this?

  Doc : No... no, this I have never seen. No - but Craig, Herb has a reason for everything he does.

  Craig Patrick : Well, he's gonna end up with 20 players who hate his guts.

  Doc : Well, maybe if they hate him they won't have time to hate each other.

• Herb Brooks : This is unbelievable. You guys are playing like this is some throw away game up in Rochester. Who we playing, Rammer?

  Mike Ramsey : Sweden.

  Herb Brooks : Yeah. You're damn right Sweden! In the Olympics!

  [turn to McClanahan] 

  Herb Brooks : What the hell is wrong with you? Put your gear on!

  [pause] 

  Herb Brooks : I said put your gear on!

  Rob McClanahan : Doc told me I can't play.

  Herb Brooks : Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know. You got a bad bruise. You know what? Put your street clothes on because I got no time for quitters!

  Mike Eruzione : Come on, Herb! No body is quitting here!

  Herb Brooks : You worry about your own game. Plenty there to keep you busy.

  Herb Brooks : A bruise on the leg is a hell of a long way from the heart, candy ass.

  Rob McClanahan : What'd you call me?

  Herb Brooks : You heard me!

  Rob McClanahan : You want me to play, huh? Is that what you want?

  Herb Brooks : I want you to be a hockey player!

  Rob McClanahan : [yells]  I AM A HOCKEY PLAYER! YOU WANT ME TO PLAY ON ONE LEG? HUH? I'LL PLAY ON ONE LEG!

  Herb Brooks : [walking out of the locker room with McClanahan still screaming]  That'll get him going.

  Craig Patrick : Oh, yeah. I'll clean up!

• Craig Patrick : Hey, Herb, what's going on? We're playing the Soviets three days before Lake Placid?

  Herb Brooks : Yeah, how 'bout that?

• Doc : Ah, so much hate and fear.

  Craig Patrick : What?

  Doc : Between the Soviets and the West. All these nuclear weapons pointed at each other. It's bound to end up in disaster.

  Craig Patrick : Aw come on, Doc, they'll work it out. They don't have any other choice right?

  Doc : I hope so, but it just seems to me like some people just never get along.

  Craig Patrick : Like hockey players from Boston and Minnesota.

  Doc : Our own private Cold War.

• Herb Brooks : [to Craig]  Take a look at this.

  Craig Patrick : What's this?

  Herb Brooks : Twenty-six names. The tough part will be getting it down to twenty before the opening ceremonies.

  Craig Patrick : This is the final roster? You're kidding me, right? This is our first day, Herb. We've got a week of this. What about the advisory staff? Aren't they supposed to have a say in this?

  Herb Brooks : Not technically.

  Craig Patrick : You're missing some of the best players.

  Herb Brooks : I'm not looking for the best players, Craig. I'm looking for the right ones.

  Craig Patrick : You have Jim Craig to back up Janisack?

  Herb Brooks : Other way around.

  Craig Patrick : Other way around? I'm sorry, didn't Janisack just win you a national championship?

  Herb Brooks : Janny is a solid goaltender, but we're not playing for the national championship here, Craig.

  Herb Brooks : You know people I speak to say that Craig's game has been off since his mom died.

  Craig Patrick : They ever see him when his game's on?

• Herb Brooks : [after the fight between O' Callahan and McClanahan breaks up]  Well, how 'bout it, boys? Look like hockey to you? Looks more like a couple monkeys trying to hump a football to me, I don't know. What do you think, Craig?

  Craig Patrick : [pause]  Yeah.

  Herb Brooks : You wanna settle old scores, you're on the wrong team. We move forward starting right now. We start becoming a team right now! Skating, passing, flow and creativity. That is what this team is all about, gentlemen, not old rivalries. So, why don't we start with some introductions. You know, get to know each other a little bit. Where you from. Who you are. Go ahead.

  [looks at McClanahan] 

  Rob McClanahan : [rolls his eyes]  Rob McClanahan. St. Paul, Minnesota.

  Herb Brooks : Who do you play for?

  Rob McClanahan : I play for you, here at the U.

  Herb Brooks : [looks at O.C]  Jack?

  Jack O'Callahan : Jack O'Callahan. Charlestown, Mass. Boston University.

  Herb Brooks : [looks at Ralph Cox]  Over here.

  Cox : I'm Ralph Cox. I'm from wherever's not gonna get me hit!

  Herb Brooks : Very good. Everybody on the line, let's go!

• Craig Patrick : Hughes, Ross, Auge, Delich, Horsch, Strobel, Christoff, Morrow, Suter, Ramsey, Janaszak, Christian, Pavelich, Verchota, Baker, Harrington, Schneider, O'Callahan, McClanahan, Silk, Johnson, Craig, Cox, Eruzione. And that's the roster for now. The rest of you thanks for coming out.
