Hurricane Katrina exposed the harsh reality that we have been skating on thin ice when it comes to this country's energy concentrations on the Gulf Coast.
Since the beginning, I always loved the game.
Forget about style; worry about results.
Only a goalie can appreciate what a goalie goes through.
About the last thing I ever wanted in life was a knighthood, and even today some forty years after the event, I find it difficult to come to terms with a life where old and valued friends insist on calling me 'Sir' instead of Don, simply because they think it is protocol. But I have consciously shouldered these burdens because I felt that I was the medium through which cricket could achieve a higher status and gain maximum support from the people, not only in Australia but throughout the world.
The excitement of the fans in Montreal, especially in the playoffs, I don't think you can get that anywhere else. For a hockey player, I kind of wish everyone could go through that and experience what it is to play there. It's very unique.
I still bother with runners I call hamburgers. They're never going to run any record times. But they can fulfill their own potential.
High sticking, tripping, slashing, spearing, charging, hooking, fighting, unsportsmanlike conduct, interference, roughing......everything else is just figure skating.
People ask if I regret not winning a Stanley Cup, but winning the series against the Soviet Union was the best. It was the greatest experience of my hockey career by far.
What is courage? Let me tell you what I think it is. An indefinable quality that makes a man put out that extra something, when it seems there is nothing else to give. I dare you to be better than you are. I dare you to be a thoroughbred.
Half the game is mental, the other half is being mental.
I'm okay. Russian machine never breaks.
I played hockey in North Dakota growing up and watch a lot of that.
You need a lot of leaders, but a hockey team needs a voice, not only in the community, but more importantly between the coaching staff and the players. There are always ups and downs in a season; the captain is the guy players look to in those situations.
Canadian hockey fans... They boo me every time I go anywhere. Because I play for Team USA.
Often extinctions in the ocean occur at the same time as those on land. Then again, the ice age extinctions lost many big animals, but not many sea faring ones.
When I look at the net I don't see a goalie.
I'll always be Number 1 to myself.
I'm leaving the game of hockey with nothing but great memories...
What counts in sports is not the victory, but the magnificence of the struggle.
I played everything. I played lacrosse, baseball, hockey, soccer, track and field. I was a big believer that you played hockey in the winter and when the season was over you hung up your skates and you played something else.
I tried to talk my daughter out of going with a hockey player but, he's a good kid. He asked me if he could marry Carrie before he asked her. I said: You want to what? I thought he was just going to ask for more ice time.
There are two types of forwards. Scorers and bangers. Scorers score and bangers bang.
It takes brains. It's not like a forward, where you can get away with scoring and not play defense. On defense you have to be thinking.
I'm not dumb enough to be a goalie.
