It's been a great honor for me to be a player for the Detroit Red Wings, to play for an Original Six franchise. I know I'm far from perfect, but I learned a lot.

Very few cities in the NHL have the history or the following of the Detroit Red Wings.

I've been hit hard a few times, been hit really hard a few times, but I don't think I've ever left a memorable, lasting impression on anyone I've ever hit.

I'm exhausted trying to stay healthy.

Balanced is probably what I am, although that's just a polite way to say that you don't do anything very well.

I hope people like me and appreciate me the way I am.

And for the team, I always tried to do the right thing.

People here want the team to win and to do well. The thing is, we know when to shoot the puck.

I also feel I adapted. I was willing to try to fit into any role. The way I figured, it was always up to me to prove my worth, that I deserved to be here.

I don't know if I've ever had a memorable body check. It's not really part of my game.

The 70's hair with the long on the sides, just doesn't look good coming down the sides of the helmet.

Results are always hidden in thoughts and actions.

Don’t follow any leader

Patriotism has no appeal to us justice has. Party has no weight with us principle has. Loyalty is meaningless it depends on what one is loyal to.

The ARPAnet was the first transcontinental, high-speed computer network.

Either fraternity is spontaneous, or it does not exist. To decree it is to annihilate it. The law can indeed force men to remain just; in vain would it try to force them to be self-sacrificing.

Work does not kill you, food does. God does not kill you, food does. Food is your first and last enemy. If you take in more than you can handle, it takes all of your energy to digest it.

It is because he was unhappy that God created the world.

I can safely say, that the happiest part of my life has been spent on board a ship.

I care not who controls a nation's political affairs, so long as I control her currency

You can trust the unconscious.
