NHL STANLEY CUP FINALS: SENATORS v DUCKS


May 30, 2007


Sam Gagner


ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA: Game Two

PIERRE MCGUIRE: Sam, why don't you come on up.
Why would the Buffalo Sabres be your favorite team.
SAM GAGNER: I don't have a favorite team, per se. I like the style of play that Buffalo has at this time. And I enjoyed watching them play.
PIERRE MCGUIRE: I saw you at the Royal Junior. It didn't go exactly the way you wanted it personally; team-wise it did. How did you stay so focused and so competitive?
SAM GAGNER: I think it started in Ottawa. That was a mindset around our team. Everyone was there for one reason and that was to win and nobody was really thinking about personal achievements and everybody was unselfish and I just got caught up in it.
PIERRE MCGUIRE: Your dad played 15 years in the league. Now he's your assistant coach in London. What's that like.
SAM GAGNER: It's awesome. He knows so much about the game and he's been able to teach me so much over the years he knows me better than anybody. I think it's been real beneficial for me.
PIERRE MCGUIRE: What team do you want to be drafted by?
SAM GAGNER: I don't have a choice either way. I think being drafted by Toronto would be awesome because that's where I'm from. But other than that I think anywhere would be awesome, just to be drafted by an NHL team.
PIERRE MCGUIRE: There are a lot of hard-boiled newspaper people out here that followed Dale Hunter when he played and they know how tough a guy he is. He's your coach in London. Give us a dirty little Dale Hunter story.
SAM GAGNER: He tends to be pretty low key around us. So he's been awesome all year. He's been able to teach me so much in such a short period of time. And I owe a lot to him for this year, and I expect it to be a lot more fun next year as well.
PIERRE MCGUIRE: Thank you very much, Sam.
