Political Quotes

“It was with great joy and excitement yesterday that I joined with Senator Levin as we celebrated the Stanley Cup win by the Detroit Red Wings. It was a beautiful sunshiny day in Detroit, and over a million people came out to join with all of us in thanking Scotty Bowman and thanking the entire team for their wonderful win again this year. We are so proud, as Senator Levin said, of what they do, not only on the ice but off the ice. So it is with great pleasure that I join with Senator Levin today in coauthoring this resolution of tribute to the Detroit Red Wings. As has been said, this is the third time in 6 years the Detroit Red Wings have won the Stanley Cup. It is the 10th Stanley Cup in total that the Detroit Red Wings have won. We are pleased we are only behind the Montreal Canadiens, that have won it 23 times, and the Toronto Maple Leaves, that have won it 13 times. They are the only two teams that have won more Stanley Cups than our own Detroit Red Wings, of which we are so proud. We also, yesterday, saw a wonderful tribute to the head coach and the entire coaching staff, but particularly Scotty Bowman, who has his ninth Stanley Cup win in his 30 years, and 9 years with Detroit. This is the most for any coach in the NHL. Sports Illustrated has called him the best coach in any sport. That is high praise.”
