When my dad was playing in Winnipeg in '72-I was about 8 years old-he took me to my first outdoor rink in the winter. My feet were so cold, and then it gets even more excruciating once they start to thaw. It was the most excruciating pain I've ever had.

Scoring a goal is a euphoric feeling-and it's not so much the puck going in. It's the reaction from your teammates, the opponents and the fans-like, to shut up a crowd or to have your fans go berserk is the greatest feeling. It makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up.

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.

Canadian hockey fans... They boo me every time I go anywhere. Because I play for Team USA.

When I left, I got on the bus to go to Tokyo with Chris Chelios and Gary Suter and some of the guys, we were kind of sour because of what we heard had happened. I want to go and make it better and rebuild a great thing, which is USA hockey.

Sometimes guys need to cry. Some hockey players think they're too tough to cry.

If you get the seventh goal in a 7-0 game, big deal. But any goal has meaning, you know, even if it's the third goal and it's 3-0. I mean, they can still come back and get three goals.

I'm not done yet making people miserable. If they're going to make me miserable, then I'm going to make them miserable.
