At the moment it&#8217;s just like, &#8216;We won the Stanley Cup&#8217; and that&#8217;s all you&#8217;re thinking about. To play this game, this is the only thing I want to do in the world and be a part of moments like this. &#8211; Patrick Kane<\/li>\n<li>We&#8217;re brothers for life now. We&#8217;re champions. We&#8217;re champions for life. This is the pinnacle of our sport, and we won it, and I can&#8217;t tell you how I feel. &#8211; Kris Vertseeg<\/li>\n<li>A lot can happen during a season. You have to have an awful lot go right to win a Stanley Cup. &#8211; Bob Clarke<\/li>\n<li>Win today and we walk together forever. &#8211; Philadelphia Flyers Coach Fred Shero<\/li>\n<li>This dream is gonna last forever. Don\u2019t you dare wake me up! &#8211; Jim Paek<\/li>\n<li>Nobody&#8217;s a natural. You work hard to get good and then work to get better. It&#8217;s hard to stay on top. &#8211; Paul Coffey<\/li>\n<li>It is a feeling I cannot explain, like seeing the sun coming up in the morning&#8230;it&#8217;s wonderful. &#8211; Pavel Datsyuk<\/li>\n<li>I&#8217;ve seen it in the Hall of Fame in Toronto. I have stayed away from it\u2026 the day that I even get a picture or touch it will be the day that I&#8217;ve earned it. &#8211; Claude Julien<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Enjoy!
