WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING:

"Gage came out of nowhere to win the Oilers' backup job at the start of last season but failed to keep the job. He hadn't seen any NHL action since 1995-96, again with Edmonton." (The Sports Forecaster 2001-02, p. 224)

"Joaquin has been an absolute rock out there for us and has been so consistent all year. We were well aware of his pedigree when he came in, and we made a statement that he had the ability to win games by himself - and he has done just that." (Ayr Scottish Eagles coach Paul Heavey, April 1, 2002)
