Most Players Go Where The Puck Is.

I Played Everything. I Played Lacrosse, Baseball, Hockey, Soccer, Track And Field. I Was A Big Believer That You Played Hockey In The Winter And When The Season Was Over You Hung Up Your Skates And You Played Something Else.

I Have Recall. I Don't Know Why Or How. I Had A Guy Once Who Said He Played Against Me In Novice [league, For Kids Under Nine], For The Detroit Lasers. And I Said, "oh Yeah, We Beat You In The Tournament, 8-1 And I Think I Scored Seven Goals, And The Goalie Was Left-handed." And He Was, "oh My God. I Was The Goalie!" .

What You Want To Do With Your Best Players Is, It Doesn't Matter How Many Goals And Assists They Get, But When They Get Goals And Assists. The Best Players Get Them At The Most Important Times, And That's When We Need Those Guys To Come Through.

I'm Not Sure Mario Is Going To Get Accolafes He Deserves, Especially From Outside The Game. But From Within, The Players, The People Who Follow Closely, Realize Exactly What He's Broughtto The Table, Exactly What He Has Done. People Tend To Forget... Hockey Was Dying In Pittsburgh Before He Got There. I Played There. It Was Almost Dead. I'm Sorry, But The Nhl Would Not Have A Franchise In Pittsburgh Today Had Mario Not Come Along. Think About It, No Hockey In Pittsburgh.

Maybe It Wasn't The Talent The Lord Gave Me-maybe It Was The Passion.
