It was great for the New York fans and all the hockey fans. If you're a player like Mark and play so many years in the NHL and did so much for hockey he truly deserved it. He brought the Cup here to New York in 1994 and the people love him, so he deserved it.
This is probably the most surprising season, my season and the team's. For a lot of people around the league.
I got my advantage, other people got their advantage, ... I'm not that quick. But I'm 245 (pounds) and I'm not going to get tired that quick. I might not be good in the first, but I think I'm going to be good in the third.
Old people, don't watch it because you might die just watching it.
People judge you by the way you play in the playoffs.
There's probably a lot of people wondering if I can play.
One positive thing is we don't have to travel very far. Maybe our fans will be in the building. Maybe it will feel like seven home games. It's good for hockey and it's good for New York. More people are going to get interested in the playoffs.
Well, there were no people there. I would be skating by myself.
Some people picked us for last in the NHL. I think they're very wrong.
You have to have guts to do that move. In front of 20,000 people watching you, it's not that easy to do.
That guy, Mark Messier, he did so much for hockey. He truly deserves it. People will never forget that. If you give 100 percent, people will love you.
