I had a chance to read his biography, ... He was a fierce competitor, very acrobatic and obviously very brave, not wearing a mask most of his career. I'm just honored to be tied with him. |
I had tears in my eyes. I was surprised that I couldn't control myself. To hear the kind words from Tony and Vladislav was very special. And Johnny is a real inspiration to me, such a nice man, always with something positive to say. |
I had to get the focus back. I've been a part of some of those nights before and they are always emotional and special. |
I heard that Jacques was a real innovator always tinkering with the equipment and stuff, |
I just have a lot of respect for Terry and his family. He played without a mask, and his life was tragically ended. And it just means a lot to me to be up there with him and the other greats that have played that long. |
I just have a lot of respect for Terry. He played without a mask. It just means a lot to me to be up there with him and the other greats that have played that long. It's a tribute to all the guys I've played with, all the great teams I've played on. |
I just tried to stay back and stay patient. I got lucky and it worked out. |
I liked the way he played. He played the puck and was really active with his stick, really acrobatic. He was very athletic. |
I think everybody has to be better, right from me out. Everybody has to step up their games for us to be successful here. I've been lucky to be on some good teams over the years and that's what it takes, everybody contributing night after night. |
I thought about it afterwards. It's frustrating. It's a new rule that you have to get used to it. |
I'll never forget that, |
I'm not worried about that. My whole career I'm used to playing a lot of games. |
I'm seeing the puck well. |
I've let in a lot of weird goals, ... Fluky ones, whatever you want to call it, but they're ones I don't normally let in. There are a lot more shots coming at the net and guys are just shooting it at the net because they have more time and pucks are going in off legs and feet and shoulders and heads, so you might have to play out a little further on the shot and hope it hits you. |
It (moving into second alone) would be nice but it didn't happen tonight. |
