I missed 100% of the shots I didn't take

If we're going to change the game it has to start at eight, nine and 10 years old. When we were that age we'd go to the pond or backyard rink and throw a puck on the ice and play five on five, or seven on seven. You get this creativity and this imagination that comes from within, just having fun on the pond. Now kids are so focused on team play, and the coaches are so focused on positioning. You can't change it at the NHL level.

I can remember hockey. It was my life, my passion. It's what I love the most.

Hullie's a lot like a garbage can. You step on the pedal with your foot and the top opens up.

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.

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.

Everything I did in hockey, I worked for.
