"And the other thing is, too, I don't think they're coming for the right reasons. I've had people call here, pretty good players who want to come, and I say, 'Why?' 'Well, he likes the weather.' I say, 'Goodbye.' I've had enough of this crap. There's too much of this nonsense."
"It's actually for these people, and they feel it too. On the one hand it makes you work harder to want to reward them, because there are some cities that won and went through no pain. And then they write, 'Oh, great hockey town.' I mean, you never went through the pain of Quebec, and Sundin and Forsberg and bringing all those guys in in Quebec. I'm not going to anoint you a hockey city when you inherit one of the best teams that ever freakin' put on a pair of blades. And you're going to tell me you're a good hockey town? Give me a break. I would have liked to have seen what you would have done while Quebec was going through that, if you were still there like these people are.
"Now I'll give you (credit), but don't tell me you're a great hockey town when you inherit the greatest frickin' team, one of the greatest that ever lived."

The link was posted in another thread somewhere, sorry no credit to the original poster, but I thought it deserved to be noticed. Nothing earthshaking, but still a good read.
You need to click past a couple of dodger stories after part I.
