Episode Quotes
MacGyver: Like most kids growing up in Minnesota, I could skate before I could walk. So when my old coach sent a call for help, I jumped at the chance to come home and coach his team through the state championship playoffs.
Derek Kirby: Do you know what it’s like to be chosen from 400 of the best players in the country?
MacGyver: I wish I did.
MacGyver: I wish I did.
Derek Kirby: It’s all I can do, MacGyver. Hockey’s in my blood.
MacGyver: I understand that. Just take the blood out of your hockey.
MacGyver: I understand that. Just take the blood out of your hockey.
Dr. Sylvia Warner: Turk, I told you, no hockey. No excitement.
Turk Donner: Now wait a minute, doc. Are you telling me that I’m getting out of here in a week and I can’t even listen to a game on the radio? Cause if that’s what you’re telling me, you may as well pull the plug right now. Because the first thing I’m going to do when I get out of here is find a hockey game. And I don’t care if it’s Peewees on a pond.
Dr. Sylvia Warner: You are a real big pain, you know that?
Turk Donner: Of course I know that.
Dr. Sylvia Warner: What’s the score?
Turk Donner: We’re up by one. Pull up a bed, doc, and sit down.

MacGyver: You know, when something’s broken, the easiest thing to do is just throw it away, forget about it. But if you just step back, take a look at what you got, sometimes you find a totally different way of making it work.
MacGyver: There always seems to be a way to fix things.
MacGyver: You ready for this?
Turk Donner: Don’t worry. Somebody’s always got battery cables in cased I need a jump start.
