“Most players go where the puck is. I go where the puck will be.”

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.

It’s just amazing how many companies suddenly want you to hold up their products after you’ve held up the Stanley Cup.

He brings something special. I don’t know what it is, but if you ask him, you couldn’t understand his answer.

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

When I broke into professional hockey at 17 I was told that I was too small and too slow and I wouldn’t make the NHL. Now it’s kind of flip-flopped and the sense is I can’t be a good coach because I was a great athlete.

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

Canadian players have started to put more of an importance on the World Championships in the sense that as soon as they lose, they are called, they want to go play and they don’t go only on the basis of if they are injured.

I have absolutely no complaints about my life. But people think I got handed everything, all this kind of fell in my lap, that I was just God-gifted with all this talent. I wanted people to realize it’s a lot tougher than just waking up one day and you’re in the NHL.

I think the Americans are ready to play, they want to beat us. I think that players like Chris Chelios and his leadership over there goes a long way.

Hockey is a unique sport in the sense that you need each and every guy helping each other and pulling in the same direction to be successful.

When people come up to me and say, “I was at your Game 7 in the playoffs in Toronto,” or, “I saw your first goal in the NHL,” that triggers memories. But I don’t sit around my kitchen table and tell my kids, “You know, one year I got 92 goals.”

I think sports for kids is the greatest thing in the world because it teaches you how to share, about winning and losing and pressure. But I don’t think you should force your kid to become a professional athlete.

I love everything about hockey.

The highest compliment that you can pay me is to say that I work hard every day, that I never dog it.

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

My kids are no different than anyone else’s – they tend to disagree with everything I say!

Terrorism is the symptom, not the disease.

A myth is far truer than a history, for a history only gives a story of the shadows, whereas a myth gives a story of the substances that cast the shadows.

The artist is not a man who describes, but a man who feels.

The major difference between rats and people is that rats learn from experience.

The difference between dreams & success Is, dreams need effortless sleep & success needs sleepless efforts.

I may say that the only differences I expect to see revealed between the behavior of the rat and man (aside from enormous differences of complexity) lie in the field of verbal behavior.

There was a time, when I blamed my companion if his religion did not resemble mine. Now, however, my heart accepts every form….Love alone is my religion.

Remember, if you are criticising, you are not being grateful. If you are blaming, you are not being grateful. If you are complaining, you are not being grateful.
