I wasn't a great skater and I needed my skates to be perfect - really tight around the ankles. But I couldn't break in new ones because my feet would hurt so much. I wore a size 9 shoe and a 6.5 skate - my foot was really crunched.

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

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.

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.

We feel fortunate [with Canada hockey team]. We have got a lot of guys who love to play, but they also love to win even more. We are pretty happy. Although we are young, we like our group of players.

I miss all the shots I don't take.

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