Boston College Eagles Quote of the Day:
"I can't tell you how much I respected Mike [Holovak] … When Mike was named general manager (1989), he brought stability to the Oilers at a time when we didn't have very much. He didn't care how tall you were or how fast you were. He just wanted to know if you could play football. It was never about him; it was always about the Oilers. He didn't care about his ego or his legacy, he just wanted to make us better. And he did.”Bruce Matthews
