We're similar in regard to the record, but we're different types of teams. We play a little different style. We haven't talked about that at all.

One of the big mistakes a team can make is get a one or two-goal lead and start sitting back ... while the other team has the opportunity to turn on the jets offensively and put some pucks in the net. We didn't want that.

Leadership does not always wear the harness of compromise. Once and again one of those great influences which we call a Cause arises in the midst of a nation. Men of strenuous minds and high ideals come forward.... The attacks they sustain are more cruel than the collision of arms.... Friends desert and despise them.... They stand alone and oftentimes are made bitter by their isolation.... They are doing nothing less than defy public opinion, and shall they convert it by blows. Yes.

He was pivotal. He was sort of the rock of the Playhouse: organized, disciplined, always in control.

Rob Sheffield

The sax solo as we know it today would not exist without Gerry Rafferty. His 1978 soft-rock classic 'Baker Street' has to be the 'Ulysses' of rock & roll saxophone, giving the entire chorus over to Raphael Ravenscroft's sax solo, creating one of the Seventies' most enduringly creepy sounds.

Richard Paul Evans

The first casualty of hitting rock bottom is vanity.
