berserk crowd euphoric fans goal greatest hair neck opponents puck reaction scoring shut stand
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.
arena bring cut exciting fans nose people player spite
I'm also not going to cut my nose off to spite my face, because I also know that-without sounding egotistical-there are some people who bring the 20,000 or so fans into the arena to watch. And as much as I'm older, I think I'm kind of an exciting player at times.
actual bad came contract decline declined entertainment excitement fans game gary interest itself lost seen skill starting tv watched
I think the fans lost interest starting 10 years ago when Gary Bettman came in, and I think everyone who has watched the game has seen the game decline not only in popularity, but the actual game itself has declined in skill and excitement and fan entertainment value.

I've been sitting waiting the whole year. Since ninth grade I wondered what I'd do after high school. They say they want me, I'm there.

I've committed myself to be this type of player. Bitch and moan as I may, I've committed myself to it, and I'm going to stay committed to it until I'm done, because they gave me a chance to win the ultimate goal. I'll never forget them for that.
