It's a sad day for hockey, he's one of the greatest players ever. And probably the best teammate ever.
It's not the coaching, it's not the systems, it's not the goaltending; it's a team of guys who have to start playing together and winning some games.
Am I happy with it? No. Do I agree with it? No. I know what I bring to the team, to the dressing room, and my teammates know.
I told Pat I want to be him for Halloween. I almost got hit and I told Pat I should stop teasing him.
My brother Dash hit me on the head with five textbooks in a gym bag.
I'll still run him on the ice tomorrow.
Early in my career when we went to golf tournaments and charity dinners I noticed businessmen and executives would give the players their cards. Well, they're giving you their cards for a reason. I said to my wife, 'All the guys get these cards and then when they get to the parking lot they rip them up or throw them away. It's really weird.' My wife .. said maybe you should just sign a picture and mail it to them. You know, 'Great playing golf with you,' or whatever. So, I did and lo and behold some of those guys I sent pictures to way back then are now CEOs at big companies.
I have 3,000 penalty minutes. I don't need people dictating to me how to do my job.
I think with the lawyers that are being hired, things will take care of itself, ... There will be a search put on to find who Bob's replacement is and that's the way it should have been done in the first place.
It's nice to see them every day. There's a lot of excitement in their eyes.
It's half-satisfactory, ... For the most part it was never about Ted Saskin, it was always about the process. I have no doubt Ted will be the guy.
