I had a chance to make a living at the thing I love, and I have always appreciated that, and I have always wanted to give something back.

I've been slashed, speared, elbowed, board-checked, butt-ended, and hit on the head as much as anyone. I just like to keep the ledger balanced.

I got to play with Jack Stewart for many years, and I appreciated that. He was a wonderful policeman to have on your team.

Owners never paid my salary. I always recognized that it was the people in the seats who did. I always wanted to give my best.

If I had to do it all over again, I'd not change a thing - unless I could be a little meaner still.

I hated everybody I played against, and they hated me. That's the way hockey should be played.

I had no friends. I wasn't there to make friends. I was there to win.

I had the idea that I should beat up every player I tangled with and nothing ever convinced me it wasn’t a good idea.

Looking back, I’ve never had one regret.

I always believed if you take care of your body it will take care of you.
