I wanted to play professional hockey, man. But when I acted, I thought, 'Well, okay, maybe I do have something here.'
If you're built like a freight train, you can't drive around like a Volkswagen.
I don't doubt myself ever, but people that don't know me do. I've been playing for 15 years, and have the most playoffs wins in Wings history for a reason, and not because I'm a bad goalie.
I've told you guys before, goalies don't think.
I always played hockey, I was always a hockey fan, but I was never bitten by the hockey bug... I never looked into playing it professionally.
Hockey is not a sport - it's a disease.
Scary is time passing and sickness and dying and regret and isolation and loneliness and relationship problems - as opposed to a guy in a hockey mask, which didn't seem that scary.
There's nobody you'd rather beat than your good friend.
I found my prince - he's a hockey player and we met at an NHL event, the last place I'd ever expect to meet someone, but there he was.
We're right next to Mile High Stadium. I'm no rocket scientist, but...uh...(smile).
Sometimes guys need to cry. Some hockey players think they're too tough to cry.
Hockey is its own game. It's completely different than all the other games, although it's getting way too close to soccer.
I think he knows all my tricks. Or the fact I don't have any tricks
Orr is the greatest young hockey player that's come along since I've been here.
Bettman is an asshole. A frikkin asshole. I think he's ruined the game of hockey. He's supposed to be impartial. He's supposed to speak for the good of the league, but in my opinion, he's strictly behind the owners. Those 1996 rule changes are a joke
Its a great day for hockey
A hockey team is like a puzzle. Every piece is vital.
I'm just glad it wasn't Machete Night.
Yes folks, their gold medal looks the same as everybody elses.
We're scared of losing. That's why we win. We know what it's like to lose and we hate it. We enjoy being champions too much.
We only have one person to blame, and that's each other.
For the next approximately three years, I have got Nathan to take care of. I know that once he graduates from high school, he will be off doing whatever it is he is going to be doing - probably playing ice hockey.
I like ice hockey, but it's a frustrating game to watch. It's hard to keep your eyes on both the puck and the players and too much time passes between scoring in hockey. There are usually more fights than there are points.
The place was always cold, and I got the feeling that the fans would have enjoyed baseball more if it had been played with a hockey puck.
Girls, where are you? I can't find you.
