When I Was 5 And Playing Against

I Couldn't Beat People With My Strength; I Don't Have A Hard Shot; I'm Not The Quickest Skater In The League. My Eyes And My Mind Have To Do Most Of The Work.

What You Want To Do With Your Best Players Is, It Doesn't Matter How Many Goals And Assists They Get, But When They Get Goals And Assists. The Best Players Get Them At The Most Important Times, And That's When We Need Those Guys To Come Through.

I Think A Lot Of Parents Live Their Lives Through The Kids. Because They Didn't Make It [achieve Something], They Want Their Kids To Make It. It Puts A Lot Of Undue Pressure On The Kids.

But In My Mind, I Don't Think There's Any Question Sidney Crosby Is The Best All-around Player In The Game. His Hockey Sense Is So Strong And So Solid, Combined With His God-gifted Talent Of Being Able To See The Ice, See The Entire Picture In Front Of Him. And, Most Importantly, I Don't Care How Good You Are, If You Don't Have A Work Ethic, It Doesn't Matter. There's No Question That Each And Every Game, He's One Of The Hardest-working Guys On The Ice. In My Mind, He's The Best Player In The Game Today.

When People Come Up To Me And Say, "i Was At Your Game 7 In The Playoffs In Toronto," Or, "i Saw Your First Goal In The Nhl," That Triggers Memories. But I Don't Sit Around My Kitchen Table And Tell My Kids, "you Know, One Year I Got 92 Goals."
