Gordon Bombay: I was like you, Charlie. When I played hockey, I was a total hotshot, tried to take control of every game. I wound up quitting. So I tried the law. Same thing. I rule in the courtroom, but inside, I'm a mess. I started drinking. Man, I was going down, but then this great thing happened. Maybe the best thing ever. I got arrested and sentenced to community service. And there you were, Charlie and the Ducks. And as hard as I fought it, there you were. You gave me a life, Charlie and I want to say thank you. I told Orion about all this when I talked to him about taking over. I told him that you were the heart of the team and that you would learn something from each other. I told him that you were the real Minnesota Miracle Man. Charlie Conway: [astonished] You did? Gordon Bombay: [nods] I did. So be that man, Charlie. Be that man.
