I think the biggest thing for me is being able to adjust to the way the game has changed. It`s basically a 180-degree turn from the style I like to play. That`s what I think I`m most proud of, being able to fit into this style of game and still be fairly successful.
You have to know how to score.
I`m very impatient. I am. That`s the bane of my game. I don`t think about what I`m going to do-I just go hit it, I don`t stop to wait and think. Costs me two shots a round.
I see myself playing as long as I am partially enjoying the game and partially successful and they are paying me. But honestly, two more years is about all I can take.
Do I catch flak because I`m so much smarter than everyone else? I don`t know.
Canadian hockey fans... They boo me every time I go anywhere. Because I play for Team USA.
There are so many unbelievable words... But that doesn`t mean I have a favorite word.
Baseball has all the money.
If you have an active mind, it always helps. You know, people who don`t do crosswords, their minds fall asleep. That`s why I do them-my mind is always working. One day my brain is going to explode through the top of my head.
If you`re going to play hockey now, you have to be able to play. If you have the ability to fight and play, you`re an unbelievable commodity. But if you can only fight, there might be six of those guys left in the league, and I can guarantee they`re going fast.
You can`t get big in hockey. You need to be pliable... they`ve even taken fighting out of the game, so there`s no more of those big huge guys who just fight.
I`m good at everything.
Sometimes guys need to cry. Some hockey players think they`re too tough to cry.
You know what? I don`t care. I`m my own guy. I`m very secure with my sexuality. I can cry anytime I want.
I`m known as a winner now.
I`m not done yet making people miserable. If they`re going to make me miserable, then I`m going to make them miserable.
My teeth have never been touched. Why did I tell you that? Knock on wood. I`ve got a few scars over the eyes, a couple on the chin, a few on the beak and one across the cheek. But my luck is running out.
I`m patient with crossword puzzles and the most impatient golfer.
I`m realistic. And realistically, I`m not that type of player that earns that type of money any more. So I`d be willing to take a little cut to get a couple of extra years.
I`m scared to death to fly commercial... I have not flown commercial since 9/11.
