"We've been goons!" "We're the freaks in a fuckin' sideshow." "We're nothing but a bunch of criminals." "We oughta be in jail, that's all there is." " I'm ashamed." " Not you, Coach?" "Yeah." "really ashamed of myself." "See, Ned was right." "violence is killin' this sport." "It's draggin' it through the mud." "If things keep up the way they are, hockey players'II be nothing but actors, punks." "well, I'm not pIayin' my last game that way." " Last game?" " Yeah." "It's my last game, and I wanna play it straight." "No more "nail 'em." No more "Fuck with 'em." That's finished." "I wanna win that championship tonight, but I wanna win it clean."
