As a player, you have one responsibility, to focus yourself and be ready for the game. As a coach, your responsibility is to get 20 guys ready and have them all on the same page. If you can't get every guy ready every night, you're going to struggle.

Only one thing is ever guaranteed, that is that you will definitely not achieve the goal if you don't take the shot.

It's kind of ironic when I broke in at 17, I was told I was too small, too slow and I wouldn't make the NHL
