I don't train to look good in the mirror. I train to make improvements in my game.
Hockey belongs to the Cartoon Network, where a person can be pancaked by an ACME anvil, then expanded - accordion-style - back to full stature, without any lasting side effect.
I didn't hear him because my two Stanley Cup rings were plugging my ears.
It's not about what you did yesterday, it's what you do tomorrow. If you rely too much on yesterday, tomorrow is going to jump up and bite you in the pants.
I didn't know that I'd like it this much, coaching both boys and... seeing how excited they are to play hockey. It reminds you of when you were that age and you wanted to be out on the ice.
Hockey is the only job I know where you get paid to have a nap on the day of the game.
We should not have to push you to work hard, you should work hard because you want to be a great player.
Hockey players wear numbers because you can't always identify the body with dental records.
People have been known to achieve more as a result of working with others than against them.
I don't care what people say about me and what they think about me. I care about my team and I care about myself. Lots of people watch hockey, and I think everybody has different thinking.
Sports are my passion and I really enjoy connecting with others who share my love of the game
Whether youre trying to learn in hockey or trying to learn in life, Ive always tried to be observant and tried to learn more, tried to evolve, whether its as a hockey player or as a person. With each year, I try to do that.

Goaltending is a suffering position. Your equipment protects you from injury, but not from pain, every time you go out there. And if you allow a goal, the red lights go on for everyone to see. But you get to be a hero too!
That hockey game will haunt me until the day I die.
I was three-quarters down the list of guys I would be facing in my first game when I realized I was looking at our own roster.
Everything was set for us to play a real good game. Then we left the dressing room and everything went to hell.
We get nose jobs all the time in the NHL, and we don't even have to go to the hospital.
I just tape four Tylenols to it.
I try to hold it in until I get on the ice, then in front of the net sometimes I'll pass gas.
Risk something or forever sit with your dreams.
I can't wait for the crowd, the noise, the energy in the building. I can't wait to take that all away from them.
You don't have enough talent to win on talent alone.
Canadian hockey players always find a way to get along.
