16 Quotes by Denis Gauthier

I'm a laid-back, quiet guy. I change my kids' diapers.

I think it?s a great feeling. It?s an honor to go to a successful team, a team that wants to win. There?s not much more you can ask for as a hockey player then to go to a team that aspires for the Stanley Cup each and every year. It?s a great opportunity for me.

We knew coming into this series the power plays would be a huge factor and it has. We can kill four or five penalties a game, but when we get up to seven, eight or nine, that's taxing a lot of our players.

It's a place I've always wanted to go to, ever since my draft day. That's my style. They've always used big, physical defensemen. So I was excited to have a chance.

It's not like I look for s--- to happen. It follows me around and knocks on my door.
