catalyst guys last league
It's a shame. These guys have been, for the last 12 to 15 years, the catalyst for what the league is all about.
board career nobody olympic points putting team terms
There's nobody on the Olympic team that's scored more points than I have, who's had a career like I've had in terms of physicality and putting points on the board and being a leader.
communication dialogue frustrated lack strong
We're a strong union, but we are frustrated with the lack of communication, the lack dialogue and negotiation by the NHL,

We're going to try to make it better for everybody, period, end of subject. And if you don't realize that, then don't come.

Yeah, I'm cocky and I am arrogant. But that doesn't mean I'm not a nice person.
jobs school college
It's not my fault Snow didn't have any other options coming out of high school. If going to college gets you a career backup goaltender job, and my route gets you a thousand points and a thousand games, and compare the two contracts, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out whose decision was better.
winning games play
If I had a bad game and we lost I take it very seriously. I feel if I play a good game that other guys will follow and that will help us win more games. And if I don't, I take it upon myself as being my fault.
team hockey nhl
The only difference between the Coyotes and 'Days of Our Lives' is that nobody has been shot on our team yet.
night games names
The competitiveness, playing in front of 18-19,000 people every single night, people asking for my autograph, getting recognized, being able to do something like this with Sega and being on the front of a box, and being involved in video games, and listening to movies where they reference my name like in Swingers. All these things they make life so exciting, you don't know what to expect next.
athlete games cereal
As a professional athlete, there aren't too many things as gratifying as being on the front of a box. Whether it be a cereal box or a game box. It's very gratifying.
kids games goes-on
With my kids I have to get involved in the Scooby Doo games and the basic kid games that go on. I find myself getting on it more and more just because of my kids.
winning goal cups
My only goal is to win the Stanley Cup and do what I have to to win that.
arenas easier fans free game hear knowing lower money owners paying people players prices sit stuff taking ticket watch
The owners can sit there and do giveaways and lower ticket prices to get the fans back to the game knowing that what they are really doing is taking it out of our pockets, ... It's important to get people back into the arenas to watch hockey, but it is a lot easier to do when (the owners) know they still get money back because they are taking it out of our paycheck. In essence, the players are paying for all the giveaways and free stuff that the owners are doing. Which is all well and good, but you don't hear about it.
ability afraid confidence failure
We have no confidence in our ability and no confidence that we are doing it right. We just made too many mistakes. We are afraid of failure and doing something wrong.
