A friend of mine told me that if you worry about the future too much, you're going to miss the present. It's just a really exciting time to be in the present right now. Just to be here, hopefully spread some good mood around the locker room. Can't do more than that, really. |
He made a tremendous pass, right between two guys. It was on my backhand, so I had to pull it back. I got it off as quick as I could ... It was a great screen (in front of the net) ... It was a lucky shot. |
I don't foresee myself coming back in the next couple of weeks. But this is what I know, what I've worked for my whole life. I don't want it to be taken away. |
I wasn't scared about the abnormality. But I was scared about not playing hockey again. That was a shock for me. |
I'm really, really glad to be here. Not too many people get a second chance like I did. |
If any athlete goes through this, everybody (doctors) is trying to be as cautious as possible to keep it from reoccurring. I'm 25. I might not play tomorrow. In time to come, I think there will be a better solution. |
Life without hockey, I hope I don't have to face it for some time. |
There are penalties all game long. It's a lot faster game, if that's what the league wanted to do. |
There is a little abnormality, but nothing that will stop me from playing. It's nothing that will bother me emotionally. |
This is what I know, this is what I work for my whole life. I don't want it to be taken away. |
We kept hearing about teams from the East or Calgary or Nashville would be the teams to beat. |
You do what you like to do, but staying alive is way more important. I've said it before - you don't get reborn twice. I've always believed in faith. . . . I'm 25. I might not play tomorrow, but in time, I believe there will be better answers, and better solutions, too. |
