Craig BerubeSuccess in hockey comes down to 'playing heavy' and winning stick battles
The way I want to play the game, we need size and strength. Being physical... You can play heavy, it's just winning puck battles. That's what it boils down to. Using your body winning puck bottles, having heavy sticks. That's what I mean by heavy.

Big CatCam Newton was never given a decent wide receiver besides Steve Smith in Carolina
Cam Newton like was the Panthers... He also never had a really good wide receiver besides Steve Smith and got screwed out of probably some great years of his prime carrying a bad Panthers team to the Super Bowl in 2015... throwing for 35 touchdowns and running for ten touchdowns... and his wide receivers were Ted Ginn, Devin Funchess, Corey Brown and the 33 year old Jerricho Cotchery. That's incredible.
PFT CommenterCam Newton will sign with the New England Patriots
Patriots number one. I'd still like to see him [in] Chicago, but Patriots number one.
PFT CommenterJon Gruden will want to sign Cam Newton because he falls in love with every QB he broadcasts
That's a big time Jon Gruden move. I could see Gruden going after [Cam Newton] because Gruden probably fell in love with Cam Newton watching him in the booth on Monday Night Football. That's what Gruden does—if he broadcasts a couple of your games where you play well, he's just like, he instantly will fall in love with you.

View profileCraig BerubeOn-ice chemistry and winning puck battles matter far more than how well players get along off the ice.
Once we really started to come together as a team and play for each other on the ice... It doesn't matter what you do off the ice. You can be buddies with your teammates and do all this shit. But if you don't play [well] on the ice, you won't win. You won't go anywhere.
Craig BerubeGary Bettman has done an excellent job of evolving and improving the game of hockey.
Gary Bettman has done an excellent job of that—of turning this game, changing the game, I guess. You know, there's still fights in the game and things like that, but it's not as important as it was when I played... it was a different mindset back then.
Craig BerubeI would likely be the survivor if every NHL coach was thrown into a royal rumble style fight.
If we had say like every NHL coach gets in a big fight and it's almost like Royal Rumble. We throw everyone in the ring—who survives? [Berube]: I'd probably come out of there. Yes. Hell yeah.
