I spoke to Rob Blake , Chris Pronger , Chris Chelios and Brendan Shanahan last night, I think we all had the same issues about the process. Our whole point was that things weren't done right.
People had their opinions, but I think those critics should be looking in the mirror. It's great to see all three of them impressing. They're living their dream (playing in Toronto) right now.
Everything has to be out in the open now and we have to get this solved.
When you're in the hockey hotbed ... everyone is entitled to their opinion. What bothers me is when it's based on wrong information,
I wish I was on that team and he told me to do something. Because it would probably be the first time somebody sees a fight on the bench.
I was tougher when I was younger so when they tried to get met I threatened everybody,
Trevor and Ted have worked hard on this but they were part of the team that cancelled the season, too. It's not up to those guys to make decisions. It's up to us 700 guys. I think that's where the frustration sets in with everybody.
I don't think it's that we don't want Ted Saskin, I think just the way the whole process was conducted everybody isn't too happy with,
If these guys don't get a deal done, there's going to have to be new faces in there,
Maybe he's a little jealous. But I was the guy who had respect for him until he started all this BS about me. He's on the radio for a reason. He doesn't know what's going on in the dressing room ... he's just guessing and that's what bothers me.
Let me fight your toughest guy; if I win I get a spot on your team.
To do this for these kids is special for all of us. I think there's more need than we think, the problems that we have, the gun problems and all that stuff, those are all things that we have to address and there are charities that really need a lot of money.
It's not the coaching, it's not the systems, it's not the goaltending; it's a team of guys who have to start playing together and winning some games.
You try to keep on an even keel, which can be tough to do in this market.
