I don't like my hockey sticks touching other sticks, and I don't like them crossing one another, and I kind of have them hidden in the corner. I put baby powder on the ends. I think it's essentially a matter of taking care of what takes care of you.

I don't think any one person will ever be bigger than the game.

Sometimes people ask, 'Are hockey fights real?' I say, 'If they weren't, I'd get in more of them.

If I had to pick three players to start a franchise, I'd choose Hasek, Peter Forsberg and Eric Lindros.

When I broke into professional hockey at 17 I was told that I was too small and too slow and I wouldn't make the NHL. Now it's kind of flip-flopped and the sense is I can't be a good coach because I was a great athlete.

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

I skate to where the puck is going to be, not where it has been.
