The biggest difference between L.A. and Edmonton was that instead of people looking at me I was looking at them.

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

At the end of the day everybody lost. We almost crippled our industry. It was very disappointing what happened.

Nothing can replace the Olympics. I love the Olympics. I was so proud when I played in '98 and I was so proud when we won in 2002.

The last year I was playing, I asked the stick boy to get me a Diet Coke and he said, "Really?" But I always had one on the bench because that's what I did in 1979 when there wasn't Gatorade. If you needed energy you went and got a Snickers or a Kit Kat. Nobody knew any better.

I miss 100% of the shots I don't take.

Lifting the Stanley Cup for the first time. There's nothing like it. It's the greatest story. In my era, they used to say you couldn't be a superstar without winning one. I remember thinking when I lifted it: "Now they can't say that about me."
