kids games goes-on
With my kids I have to get involved in the Scooby Doo games and the basic kid games that go on. I find myself getting on it more and more just because of my kids.
winning goal cups
My only goal is to win the Stanley Cup and do what I have to to win that.
hockey ice games
Obviously ice hockey's much faster. You play street hockey, most likely, with a ball. Where the puck is more difficult to maneuver with. There's not too many things that are different. Playing on the ice is totally, totally different than playing on the street. It's totally a different game in that aspect.
night games names
The competitiveness, playing in front of 18-19,000 people every single night, people asking for my autograph, getting recognized, being able to do something like this with Sega and being on the front of a box, and being involved in video games, and listening to movies where they reference my name like in Swingers. All these things they make life so exciting, you don't know what to expect next.
home causes helping
When I get home, I'm not very happy. Especially when I didn't do something to help the cause.
sports player nhl
We can no longer ignore the stupidity of the hits that are still happening today despite the fact that the players know the concussion aspect is such a big part of the game and sports in general.
jobs school college
It's not my fault Snow didn't have any other options coming out of high school. If going to college gets you a career backup goaltender job, and my route gets you a thousand points and a thousand games, and compare the two contracts, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out whose decision was better.
nice cocky mean
Yeah, I'm cocky and I am arrogant. But that doesn't mean I'm not a nice person.
sports hockey play
You can't just go outside and play hockey. It's more of an expensive sport.
basketball baseball football
Football, you can go out and buy a football and play it in your backyard. Basketball, you can go out and play it in the schoolyard or in your driveway. Baseball, you get a glove and a bat and a ball and you go out and play in the neighborhood. You can't do that in hockey.
athlete games cereal
As a professional athlete, there aren't too many things as gratifying as being on the front of a box. Whether it be a cereal box or a game box. It's very gratifying.
winning games play
If I had a bad game and we lost I take it very seriously. I feel if I play a good game that other guys will follow and that will help us win more games. And if I don't, I take it upon myself as being my fault.
crazy past thinking
I think there are a lot of crazy guys that I've played with in the past. Wayne VanDorp, when I played in Chicago. He wasn't a big name, but my God was he nuts.
account bank bob help money sitting
If I can help Bob Probert in any way, you know I'm going to do it. There's probably a lot of money sitting in the PA bank account right now that could really help him.
