I think a lot of parents live their lives through the kids. Because they didn't make it [achieve something], they want their kids to make it. It puts a lot of undue pressure on the kids.

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

Competitive spirit is still at a premium. The more you win, the better you play, the more money you make, so they all have that in mind.

The day I stop giving is the day I stop receiving. The day I stop learning is the day I stop growing. You miss 100% of the shots you don't take.

Gordie Howe and Bobby Hull and Jean Béliveau probably looked at us in the '80s and said, "These guys are soft. We used to take the train."

I think the greatest thing about playing obviously is winning, and you can't replace that experience with anything.

Only one thing is ever guaranteed, that is that you will definitely not achieve the goal if you don't take the shot.
