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.
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.
