Jacques Plante citáty

Joseph Jacques Plante byl kanadský profesionální hokejový brankář. Během své kariéry, trvající od roku 1947 do roku 1975 byl považován za jednoho z největších hokejových inovátorů. V letech 1953 až 1963 hrál Plante za Montreal Canadiens, během tohoto období vyhrál Stanleyův pohár šestkrát, včetně pěti po sobě jdoucích vítězství.

Plante odešel z aktivního hokeje v roce 1965, ale byl přemluven k návratu do National Hockey League. Po návratu do NHL v roce 1968 hrál Plante za tým St. Louis Blues. Později v roce 1970 byl vyměněn do týmu Toronto Maple Leafs, roku 1973 byl opět vyměněn, tentokrát do týmu Boston Bruins. Svoji poslední sezónu odehrál za Edmonton Oilers, poté doopravdy ukončil svoji aktivní hokejovou kariéru.

Plante byl úplně první brankář který nosil hokejovou masku. Svoji masku si vyrobil sám, později vyvíjel více verzí a kombinoval je. Plante byl také první brankář který pravidelně hrál s pukem a podporoval obránce ve hře, často svým spoluhráčům radil zpoza brankoviště. Plante byl v roce 1978 uveden do hokejové síně slávy. U příležitosti 100. výročí NHL byl v lednu 2017 vybrán jako jeden ze sta nejlepších hráčů historie ligy. Wikipedia

Jacques Plante: Citáty anglicky

“The shot by [Andy] Bathgate nearly ripped my nose off. I told Toe [Blake] I would only return if I could wear the mask, so there was no choice. He never wanted me to wear the mask because he thought it would make me too complacent.”

“My knees started to shake. In the dressing room that night, I was so nervous I couldn't tie my skates. Maurice Richard walked over and held out his hands. 'Look at them,' he said. 'They shake before a big game. You'll feel better when you get out on the ice.”

“Our hockey team consisted of boys seventeen and eighteen years old and I used to watch them play all the time on the outdoor rink. On this one day, I remember it was very cold and I was looking at the game while standing indoors with my back against a stove. The goalie was having trouble and the coach accused him of not doing his best. The goalie was mad and took his skates off. I rushed toward the coach and volunteered to take his place. There was no other goalie around, so I went in the net and played with them the rest of the season.”

“I was with the [Quebec] Citadelles. We had four defensemen. One couldn't skate backwards. Another couldn't turn to his left. The others were slow. It was a case of me having to go and get the puck when it was shot into our end because our defense couldn't get there fast enough. The more I did it, the farther I went. It seemed to be the best thing to do, so I did it and it worked." Plante continued, "Possession of the puck is number one. That's all I'm doing—getting control until one of my teammates comes along."”
