Maybe it wasn't the talent the Lord gave me-maybe it was the passion.

People talk about skating, puck handling and shooting, but the whole sport is angles and caroms, forgetting the straight direction the puck is going, calculating where it will be directed, factoring in all the interruptions. Basically, my whole game is angles.

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

And people who know me would tell you that away from hockey I'm really not that competitive.

Skating alone is an art. Doing it on a substance? I don't know. That's got to be tough.

Maybe it wasn't the talent the Lord gave me-maybe it was the passion.

You know, I've held women and babies and jewels and money, but nothing will ever feel as good as holding that Cup.
