Mogilny is easily one of the better wits in the NHL. Some of his retorts as posted over at HF:
Paul: Alex, you've gone several games without having a goal but you have 4 assists during that stretch. The team is also winning. Is this a good thing?
Mogilny: Gee Paul, last time I checked winning was a good thing.

"I don't want it. Lady Byng. Are you kidding me? If they give it to me, I won't show up. They'll have to kidnap me to make me go to the awards ceremony." -- Alexander Mogilny
------------------
''It's not easy to take the puck away from Nik, he's 6-feet-9 and 400 pounds or whatever he is.'' --(Mogilny on Antropov's abilities)"
------------
"Oh, that's fine but my pelvis is out of whack." -- Mogilny when asked how his foot was.
-----------
"I don't know what's in them and i don't want to know, All i know is that i don't want to be 40 years old and be growing a second head" (reference to Gary Roberts health shakes)
------------------------
"I think they should take out the boards completely." -- Mogilny when asked how to prevent back problems occurring from hits, like the one from San Jose's Brad Stuart on him last season.
-----------------------
"Fear is a strong word. People in a war have fear. This is a hockey game." -- Mogilny when asked if he was afraid of losing game 6.
-----------------
"Of course he can recover from it. He grew up near a nuclear power plant. That must be it. I think maybe he has an extra bone in there, too'' - - Mogilny on Antropov's quick recovery
----------------
Any problems during practice?
"Before they turned the lights on, it was a little difficult." - Mogilny
Domi said you're allways concussed
"I'm not used to getting hit in the head like Tie. Sometimes hits like that hurt."
What about wearing a mouthguard?
"No reason. Trying to get rid of these teeth."
