Sean McCann: Walter Bush

Quotes 

• Walter Bush : [after Herb has selected his final roster after one day of tryouts]  Herb! Herb! Hey, Herb!

  Herb Brooks : Oh, hey, Walter. How are we doing?

  Walter Bush : I think we have a problem, Herb.

  Herb Brooks : Oh, yeah? What's that?

  Walter Bush : I've got a room full of people back there who want to have a say in this matter, and you've already picked the team?

  Herb Brooks : Look, Walter...

  Walter Bush : No-no! Look, there's a right way to do this job, and this is not it!

  Herb Brooks : And I understand you have a job to do, and if I was in your shoes, I'd be saying the exact same thing.

  Walter Bush : Alright, then. We'll go back inside, and we'll help piece together a hockey team. All of us, TOGETHER.

  Herb Brooks : Walter, that's just not going to happen.

  Walter Bush : Do you realize what the AHA went through to put this whole thing together? The best amateur players in the country on the ice for a week? Not just a day!

  Herb Brooks : Yeah, and I didn't need any of that, because I already know my team.

  Walter Bush : How do you know your team? Those guys have been out there for only a few hours!

  Herb Brooks : Every single one of those players was chosen for a specific reason. I've seen them, I've watched them, and I coached a lot of them, and the ones I haven't, I've spoken with their coaches and scouts in the area. I know who I need to compete, and the team I've chosen is it.

  Walter Bush : What am I supposed to say to the advisory board, the committee?

  Herb Brooks : Tell them the truth.

  Walter Bush : You're putting me in a hell of a spot, Herb. Hell of a spot!

  Herb Brooks : Look, they want me to do a job, I'm trying to do it.

  Walter Bush : ...Alright. I'm going to back you up on this one, but I sure as hell hope you know what you are doing.
