He's skating like he's 36 again.
Hockey belongs to the Cartoon Network, where a person can be pancaked by an ACME anvil, then expanded - accordion-style - back to full stature, without any lasting side effect.
I am not afraid to stop the puck with my head. I try to do it sometimes even in practice; not everyday but once in a while, I say to my teammates, shoot me in my head and I'll try to stop the puck. I am not afraid at all of the puck, so sometimes, if the shot comes at my head, it's an easier save to make with your head. Maybe the people think a different way, but for me, I do it with my head.
I say no words. . . I can't speak with him. I shy. He too good.
There are two types of forwards. Scorers and bangers. Scorers score and bangers bang.
Doing a good impression of a backup goalie the last few weeks.
I played with Joey Mullen back in Salt Lake City before he got called up to St. Louis. He was the first player ever to score 20 goals in the American League and 20 in the NHL. I've kept in contact with him and he's a great guy.

Bob Goodenow will kill me, but if we're going to be realistic about things, probably 75 per cent of the league is overpaid. But we're not paying ourselves. There are people giving it to us and no one is putting a gun to their heads. Something has to be done if we're going to fix this.
This is a tragedy for the players. Their careers are short and this is money and opportunity they'll never get back.

I remember what Ron Greschner said when he retired. 'The thing I'm going to miss most is showering with 23 guys. ' And that's what it's all about: camaraderie.
We only speak two languages here: English and profanity.
He ran over a few people, nothing major. Mess runs over people. Sometimes, people don't get up. That's life.
This is a sad, regrettable day that all of us wish could have been avoided.
We can no longer ignore the stupidity of the hits that are still happening today despite the fact that the players know the concussion aspect is such a big part of the game and sports in general.
The hockey lockout of 1994 - 1995 has been settled. They have stopped bickering. . . and can now get down to some serious bloodshed!
By far Gretzky is the most talented player ever. Every time he gets the puck something exciting happens.
That's great. I'm 100 years old and people are still interested.
