So happy I lived to tell the story! We played vs the Canucks early in the year, & I remember saying, "that's a team I'd love to play for!" So, next time we played them, I was going to make sure I was noticed. Problem was, I didn't realize when I ran the Canuck over it was GINO! Oh, NO! Survived the fight, and was later traded that year to the Canucks that went on a great Stanley Cup run! Just think, Gino's fight changed my life in some way!

Tore my labrum in my hip in Game 1, and my right thumb ligament in game 3. Survived the rest of the series. I remember walking in the locker room after the game, Rod Brind'Amour pouring champagne down my throat from the Cup, and right after going down on my hands and knees puking my guts out for 10 minutes. I gave it all I had for 7 games, and "that's all I got to say about that.."

Kings - (Justin Williams is too clutch)

You think of all those guys you've fought with all year, your family, wife & kids, and the moments you kept believing in yourself when you wanted to give up. When you didn't think you could do it any more. When you didn't think you were good enough, or a coach didn't think you'd make it. You think at that moment, I'm glad I believed in myself & trusted my spirit.

  1. Claude Lemieux / Glen Anderson - both dirty as hell, but would compete like hell too.
  2. 2-1 game in Carolina, Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final game, under a minute to go in the game, pulled goalie by Edmonton, the puck was shot off the boards about 3 feet high, I knocked it out of the air, over to Eric Staal, he passed to Justin Williams to put the puck in the empty net to ice the game. I use to juggle all the time to help my eyes multi-task, and that moment was worth all those days of throwing 3 balls in the air.
