The only shot I ALWAYS miss, is the one I don't take!
I miss 100% of the shots I don't take.
You miss the ball you do not hit 100%
I miss all the shots I don't take.
You miss 100 percent of the selfies you never make.
You miss every shot you don't take.
The day I stop giving is the day I stop receiving. The day I stop learning is the day I stop growing. You miss 100% of the shots you don't take.
I skate to where the puck is going to be, not to where it has been.
The sad thing about this whole scenario is that Rick is a wonderful person and a great guy, so I hope everything works out in his favor. It's hard because I love the guy. He's a great guy, you know. I just hope it all works out for him.
Blake takes a nice shot, and I think that changed the momentum of the hockey game. We just couldn't find our way back into it.
The success of Team Canada got me interested in teaching again which is something I really enjoy doing,

At the end of the day, everybody lost. We almost crippled our industry. It was very disappointing what happened.
