Anyone who would walk away from this team is obviously done.
Anything that's signed by me on EBay is a forgery and not authentic.
Baseball has all the money.
Canadian hockey fans... They boo me every time I go anywhere. Because I play for Team USA.
Do I catch flak because I'm so much smarter than everyone else? I don't know.
Figure out what you want to focus on when you're 12 and 13, and then start to learn the real fundamentals.
Guys sit there and say they don't want their son to be a goalie. He's 8 years old right now, and he likes to play goalie. Go ahead, play goalie-but I want you to also play forward and learn how to play the game.
Hey, I just don't want to go to the dentist. And come on, everyone is vain.
Hockey is its own game. It's completely different than all the other games, although it's getting way too close to soccer.
I bet you there's a lot of guys who dream of having a girl that fine.
I did it because I loved the game.
I didn't like the '50s, you know. I appreciate Elvis, but I'm not a big fan. I'm not a rockabilly fan. And the '60s and early '70s were, to me, the greatest times to live.
I don't even think of myself as a really good player any more. After all the things I've done, that's the hardest part.
I genuinely was aware of what was happening and enjoyed looking at the people I won it with and how they enjoyed it. Before, I was just so excited that I won it that I didn't get to really enjoy the experience.
I have an idea, an area where I think I want it to go. It's too hard to get too specific, so I know it's going high and left, or sometimes you just have to shoot it so quick, you're just hitting the net.
I just want to get to a level that only a couple of people have been before and it pisses me off that I don't know if I'll be able to do it when I'm capable of doing it.
I like to think I speak for a lot of the players. But a lot of the players don't ever support me, which pisses me off.
I like to think that I'm my own guy.
I see myself playing as long as I am partially enjoying the game and partially successful and they are paying me. But honestly, two more years is about all I can take.
I should have been a child of the '60s.
I think the biggest thing for me is being able to adjust to the way the game has changed. It's basically a 180-degree turn from the style I like to play. That's what I think I'm most proud of, being able to fit into this style of game and still be fairly successful.
I want to be back in Dallas next year.
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.
I'm certainly not going to consider myself one of the top five greatest players ever.
I'm good at everything.
I'm known as a winner now.
I'm not done yet making people miserable. If they're going to make me miserable, then I'm going to make them miserable.
I'm not going to work for the Players' Association, and I'm not going to work for the league. I'm going to work somewhere where we can bring both sides together and make it a better game.
I'm one of the guys who's about to go to the Senior Tour.
I'm patient with crossword puzzles and the most impatient golfer.
I'm realistic. And realistically, I'm not that type of player that earns that type of money any more. So I'd be willing to take a little cut to get a couple of extra years.
I'm scared to death to fly commercial... I have not flown commercial since 9/11.
I'm very impatient. I am. That's the bane of my game. I don't think about what I'm going to do-I just go hit it, I don't stop to wait and think. Costs me two shots a round.
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.
I've never repeated, you know? We went to the finals back-to-back in Dallas, but we didn't win the second time. We lost in the final to Jersey. But if you have the same group, because of the knowledge you have, yeah, I think the journey is easier.
If I had my choice, we'd be listening to Neil Young or Bob Dylan.
If there's one thing that I wish I could do that I was unable to do, it's this: go to Woodstock. I wish I would have been at Woodstock.
If they don't see you do it, then they're not going to do it, and then you are completely... You have to play within the team structure no matter how much you want to do something else, and that's why Mike Modano is the best player in the league.
If you get the seventh goal in a 7-0 game, big deal. But any goal has meaning, you know, even if it's the third goal and it's 3-0. I mean, they can still come back and get three goals.
If you have an active mind, it always helps. You know, people who don't do crosswords, their minds fall asleep. That's why I do them-my mind is always working. One day my brain is going to explode through the top of my head.
If you're going to play hockey now, you have to be able to play. If you have the ability to fight and play, you're an unbelievable commodity. But if you can only fight, there might be six of those guys left in the league, and I can guarantee they're going fast.
It's the same reason I've been known to be hard on players. But it's only because I want them to be better and be the best they can be. At times, I just don't think they try to do that, and it's the same with the league. Sometimes I don't think the league is trying to make itself better.
Keep it out of the middle of the field, take it up the sidelines as far as you can and then shoot it at the net and hope it goes in off someone.
Mandy... that's my favorite song of all time. Man, oh, man.
My personality is Nick Price, but my game is not Nick Price. I hit it long, and I hit good irons, but my short game is putrid. It's putrid. But it's getting better.
My teeth have never been touched. Why did I tell you that? Knock on wood. I've got a few scars over the eyes, a couple on the chin, a few on the beak and one across the cheek. But my luck is running out.
Sometimes guys need to cry. Some hockey players think they're too tough to cry.
Sometimes I think the league is just stifling itself, and I want people just to think and wonder... I talk all the time about how when I retire I want to be a part of the game.
That's what infuriates me about the game: the fact that... scoring... is the one thing I love to do, and it's almost like you are not allowed to do it anymore.
The fans are the most important part of the game. Without them, there is no game. They are going to quit coming to the games if we don't make the game better, more entertaining.
The mental part is hardest, because I still think the game should be played a completely different way. But I've committed myself to play within our team structure, so to do that and to fight your true feelings is very difficult at times.
There are more Americans in the spotlight. I think the media of America goes all over the world, whereas the media of Canada doesn't go anywhere, you know?
There are so many unbelievable words... But that doesn't mean I have a favorite word.
There are teams that are going to fold, players aren't going to be... look at all of the players who are out of the game now because of contract demands.
They should not be allowed to put your picture on a hockey card without your approval of the picture.
They've got a big payroll here, but I'd be more than happy to help with that.
This is the team that took me when probably no one else was interested. Maybe there were other teams interested, but a team like this saw in me something that I didn't see in myself and got me to play a game I didn't know I could and at a level I never thought I could.
To get that goal, my life couldn't have gotten any better. To have people say that, and then to go out and do it and get the winning goal-it was so ironic it was scary.
You can't get big in hockey. You need to be pliable... they've even taken fighting out of the game, so there's no more of those big huge guys who just fight.
You get 50 or 40 goals now, you've had a wonderful season, I think.
You have to know how to score.
You know what? I don't care. I'm my own guy. I'm very secure with my sexuality. I can cry anytime I want.
You think you are invincible, and then all of a sudden you think you are useless. It's the worst feeling I've had in my life.
Brett and his father Bobby Hull are the only father-son players to each score at least 600 goals in their NHL careers.
Brett signed with the Phoenix Coyotes on August 6, 2004, but because of the NHL lock out he only played five games with them before his retirement.
Brett is 5' 11" tall and weighs 205 lbs.
On June 9,1984, Brett was drafted by the Calgary Flames in the 6th round. He was the 117th pick overall.
