I really wanted to write a book [99: Stories of the Game] on the tradition and history of the league, where kids can pick it up and read it and learn things and say, "Geez, I didn't know that. That's pretty cool."

Listen, everything I have in my life is because of the NHL and because of hockey, and I love the game and I loved every minute of being a player, I loved coaching, I loved being involved in the NHL.

I have absolutely no complaints about my life. But people think I got handed everything, all this kind of fell in my lap, that I was just God-gifted with all this talent. I wanted people to realize it's a lot tougher than just waking up one day and you're in the NHL.

I'm very proud of our NHL players. I think they all handle themselves extremely well and they all work really hard.

The only shot I ALWAYS miss, is the one I don't take!

You miss the ball you do not hit 100%

Hockey is a unique sport in the sense that you need each and every guy helping each other and pulling in the same direction to be successful.
