The highest compliment that you can pay me is to say that I work hard every day, that I never dog it.
The Power of WHO provides great lessons about how to succeed in business and in life. If you surround yourself with quality people and great friends, the sky’s the limit.
Only one thing is ever guaranteed, that is that you will definitely not achieve the goal if you don’t take the shot.
The greatest thing about playing obviously is winning, and you can’t replace that experience with anything.
By no means could I play at the level of these kids who play in the NHL now but as 50-year-olds go, I feel really good and I feel blessed that I’m still healthy.
I don’t think any one person will ever be bigger than the game.
Skating alone is an art. Doing it on a substance? I don’t know. That’s got to be tough.
Everything I did in hockey, I worked for.
Not doing it is certainly the best way to not getting it.
People talk about skating, puck handling and shooting, but the whole sport is angles and caroms, forgetting the straight direction the puck is going, calculating where it will be directed, factoring in all the interruptions. Basically, my whole game is angles.
And people who know me would tell you that away from hockey I’m really not that competitive.
It’s kind of ironic when I broke in at 17, I was told I was too small, too slow and I wouldn’t make the NHL.
Growing up, I was always the small guy.
You know, I’ve held women and babies and jewels and money, but nothing will ever feel as good as holding that Cup.
Hullie’s a lot like a garbage can. You step on the pedal with your foot and the top opens up.
He brings something special. I don’t know what it is, but if you ask him, you couldn’t understand his answer.
One hundred percent of shots not taken don’t go in.
A lot of times, I can turn and pass without even looking.
At the end of the day everybody lost. We almost crippled our industry. It was very disappointing what happened.
When emotions are high, things are said, things are done. Ultimately, these players want to play. I know too many of them love the game too much.
