NHL All-Stars weren't only delivering on the ice Sunday.
Here are some of the best quotes from the game's best after fun-filled 3-on-3 tournament that saw the Metropolitan crowned hockey's best division.
1. Marchand about Price
Carey Price, Boston Bruin? Brad Marchand can see it.
Marchand to Price: "You look good in those colours..."

2. How do you really feel?
Vladimir Tarasenko only keeps it real:

“I really can’t talk about this game seriously.”
3. Paying the price
Make no mistake: A million dollars is motivating.
Atkinson: "Guys were blocking shots ..." #Caps Ovechkin, locker next door: "Yeah!!!!"

Atkinson: "Superstars were blocking shots."
4. 20 minutes?!
Alex Ovechkin made sacrifices, and Sunday he's a champion.
Ovi on the ASG's pace: "I couldn’t even find my breath [early]…It was holy Jesus Christ, like, are we in a playoff game or all-star game?"

5. Sleeping with the enemy
It was a day of firsts for Sidney Crosby:
Crosby was asked if it was possible to be happy for a Flyer. "For a quick moment," he joked while laughing. "A brief moment." -MC https://t.co/XlIHmfuy02

6. Blame Toronto
Connor McDavid just can't catch a break:
Smiling McDavid on challenge: "maybe a millimeter offside. Guess they're calling it TIGHT in the All-Star Game." (Sorry for earlier typo)

7. Boudreau ain't pleased
Bruce Boudreau prefers the Minnesota Wild, thanks.
Bruce Boudreau: “You’re not going to get the intensity of a Cup Final. [But] the intensity of NHL preseason game would be good now & again.”
