n't hold still for a portrait... to gain a glimpse inside, you join it in progress just as players do: jumping onto the ice for their shifts as the game swirls around. On that ice, the action moves at high speeds. The punishment doled out can be staggering and the very best in the world form bands of brothers as authentic as any in sports. Virtuoso talents alongside distinctive leaders. Fearless combatants and relentless competitors. They play with an intensity from another age. A passion invulnerable to cynicism and an energy that embraces whatever the ice offers next. Through heights and depths, lengthy streaks and sudden turnarounds, the spirited collision in a national spotlight, they have revealed a portrait of the season in progress. Hockey won’t hold still to give you a better look. You wouldn’t want it to anyway. It’s the action that makes the possibilities endless. The next practice, the next city, and the next game await." - Liev Schreiber "How good was Stan Musial? He was good enough to take your breath away." - Vin Scully "Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the the universe." - Albert Einstein".
