I realized that my family was more important to me than downtown night life.
From Guy Lafleur
When trouble comes, it's your family that supports you.
Go ahead, work hard and never be afraid to try something. Even if you don't make it, at least you can say you tried.
You do not play hockey for good seasons. You play to win the Stanley Cup. It has to be the objective.
It's nice to go to small places where we had a lot of fans. They followed our career and it's kind of a way to say thank you to them and do it for a good cause.
The players wanted more money, higher salary caps and they didn't have that family relationship we felt with the players. Mentally, the players were more businesslike.
Being drafted by the Montreal Canadiens, that was the greatest moment in my career. And stealing the Stanley Cup in 1978 and bringing it back to my hometown of Thurso.
I think it was always there and it was maybe a matter of bringing it out. It was harder than I thought it would be and I had to try harder. I had to regain my confidence, maybe the most important thing. I have learned a lot to relax. I know what I can do now, and I do it.
The crowd doesn't give a crap as long as you bring the money in.
After 13 years, I couldn't accept to be number two.
