I Miss All The Shots I Don't

I Have Absolutely No Complaints About My Life. But People Think I Got Handed Everything, All This Kind Of Fell In My Lap, That I Was Just God-gifted With All This Talent. I Wanted People To Realize It's A Lot Tougher Than Just Waking Up One Day And You're In The Nhl.

I Miss 100% Of The Shots I Don't Take.

I Have Recall. I Don't Know Why Or How. I Had A Guy Once Who Said He Played Against Me In Novice [league, For Kids Under Nine], For The Detroit Lasers. And I Said, "oh Yeah, We Beat You In The Tournament, 8-1 And I Think I Scored Seven Goals, And The Goalie Was Left-handed." And He Was, "oh My God. I Was The Goalie!" .

It Doesn't Matter What I Think. It Doesn't Matter What Other People Think. You Have To Get On The Ice And Participate And Play And The Best Team Wins.

When People Come Up To Me And Say, "i Was At Your Game 7 In The Playoffs In Toronto," Or, "i Saw Your First Goal In The Nhl," That Triggers Memories. But I Don't Sit Around My Kitchen Table And Tell My Kids, "you Know, One Year I Got 92 Goals."
