I went to a fight the other night, and a hockey game broke out.
Baseball happens to be a game of cumulative tension but football, basketball and hockey are played with hand grenades and machine guns.
All hockey players are bilingual. They know English and profanity.
A good hockey player plays where the puck is. A great hockey player plays where the puck is going to be.
That's the awesome part. Little girls now have a chance to look up and see women playing soccer, basketball, softball and now hockey - and know they can win a gold medal, too.
I don't like my hockey sticks touching other sticks, and I don't like them crossing one another, and I kind of have them hidden in the corner. I put baby powder on the ends. I think it's essentially a matter of taking care of what takes care of you.
My message to the kids and our fans is hockey's a great game. There's a lot of hockey being played at all levels. Get involved, do it. We will be back and we will be back better than ever and hopefully as soon as possible. Don't give up on the game. It's too good.
The greatest hockey player who ever lived: Bobby Orr, and I love him.
My job is to suggest and ratify and use any expertise that I might have gained over the 23 years in professional hockey to make our game a better game.
I had all the usual ambition growing up. I wanted to be a writer, a musician, a hockey player. I wanted to do something that wasn't nine to five. Acting was the first thing I tried that clicked.
I used to collect hockey cards. It was like Vegas at my school. You'd go to school with your box of cards, and at recess and lunchtime there were all these games we'd play.
My goal was to play in the NHL, because that is the best hockey in the world.
Since the beginning, I always loved the game. When you grow up in Montreal, one day you want to be a professional hockey player. When I was six or seven, I knew that was what I wanted.
Every day is a great day for hockey.
For as long as I can remember I wanted to be a professional hockey player.
Canadian hockey fans... They boo me every time I go anywhere. Because I play for Team USA.
