People ask if I regret not winning a Stanley Cup, but winning the series against the Soviet Union was the best. It was the greatest experience of my hockey career by far.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I really did love hockey. It was one of my favorite things to do.
My goal was to play in the NHL, because that is the best hockey in the world.
As a kid, you dream of winning the Stanley Cup. As you get older, you understand the importance of winning the Olympics.
I was impressed all my life. Because of the Montreal Canadiens' past, it means a lot because it was a team I cherished as a kid. It was my dream playing for the Montreal Canadiens - it was my dad's team.
I say the Islanders were the best team I ever covered because they had more so many stars who delivered with Canadian-Swedish-suburban modesty. And they won four straight Stanley Cups from 1980 through 1983.
I was always a decent hockey player, but I'd have never made the NHL.
I'm leaving the game of hockey with nothing but great memories.
By 1946, I knew Detroit was the best hockey city in the Original Six.
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.
Winning the Stanley Cup in '99 was a dream come true. I'll never forget it.
