A good hockey player plays where the puck is. A great hockey player plays where the puck is going to be.

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

I'm probably the only guy in hockey who can win a scoring title and everybody is saying I had a bad year. I don't worry about it.

I think the Americans are ready to play, they want to beat us. I think that players like Chris Chelios and his leadership over there goes a long way.

It doesn't matter what I think. It doesn't matter what other people think. You have to get on the ice and participate and play and the best team wins.

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

Look at guys like Larry Bird and George Brett and John McEnroe; that's what they did in their careers. They all wanted to be the guy under the microscope late in the game or late in the match. So you just take on that know-how that that's part of your responsibility, and you learn that's what makes it exciting. That's what makes it fun!
