I Love Everything About Hockey.

The Highest Compliment That You Can Pay Me Is To Say That I Work Hard Every Day, That I Never Dog It.

I Wasn't Naturally Gifted In Terms Of Size And Speed; Everything I Did In Hockey I Worked For, And That's The Way I'll Be As A Coach.

As A Player, You Have One Responsibility, To Focus Yourself And Be Ready For The Game. As A Coach, Your Responsibility Is To Get 20 Guys Ready And Have Them All On The Same Page. If You Can't Get Every Guy Ready Every Night, You're Going To Struggle.

I'm Not Sure Mario Is Going To Get Accolafes He Deserves, Especially From Outside The Game. But From Within, The Players, The People Who Follow Closely, Realize Exactly What He's Broughtto The Table, Exactly What He Has Done. People Tend To Forget... Hockey Was Dying In Pittsburgh Before He Got There. I Played There. It Was Almost Dead. I'm Sorry, But The Nhl Would Not Have A Franchise In Pittsburgh Today Had Mario Not Come Along. Think About It, No Hockey In Pittsburgh.

Kids Don't Fight In Minor Hockey Anymore. There's Very Few Fights In Junior And College Hockey. So Growing Up, All These Guys Are Not Fighting.
