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

One hundred percent of shots not taken don't go in.

I get a lot of parents coming up to me, telling me they are grooming their kids to be professional athletes. I'm really against that. I think it's a great life, and yeah, you can lead them in that direction. I think a lot of parents live their lives through the kids. Because they didn't make it, they want their kids to make it. It puts a lot of undue pressure on the kids.

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

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

People in general want to build somebody up and then try to knock them down. They always root for the underdog.

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