Cynicism is a toll for survival. I became disillusioned with THE game not being THE pure thing it was earlier in my life. I began to see the exploitation of THE players by THE owners.

You're a piece of property. They try to get as much out of you as they can.

Once I had a torn shoulder, well in THE process of healing. They brought their doctor in. He said, "You can play." I played and ripped it completely. I was laid up.

So, I look at THE owner. He shrugs his shoulders, walks away. He doesn't really hate me. He's impersonal.

It can't be just a job. It's not worth playing just for money. It's a way of life.

When we were kids there was THE release in playing, THE sweetness in being able to move and control your body.

This is what play is. Beating somebody is secondary.

When I was a kid, to really MOVE was my delight. I felt released because I could move around anybody. I was free.

THE whole object of a pro game is to win. That is what we sell. We sell it to a lot of people who don't win at all in their regular lives. They involve themselves with THE team, a winning team.

I'm fighting THE cynicism. What I'd like to do is find an after-life and play a little more.

I don't have that drive anymore. If I function hard, it's against a hard environment. That's preferrable to knocking somebody down.

I come up against a hard young stud now, and he want THE puck very badly, I'm inclined to give it to him. When you start thinking like that, you're in trouble as far as being a pro athlete is involved.

I still like to skate. One day last year on a cold, clear, crisp afternoon, I saw this huge sheet of ice in THE street. Damn, if I didn't drive out there and put on my skates.
.... And I flew.

Nobody was there. I was free as a bird. I was really happy. ... I'll do that until I die, I hope. Oh, I was free!
THE wind was blowing from THE north.
With THE wind behind you, you're in motion, you can wheel and dive and turn, you can lay yourself into impossible angles that you never could walking or running. You lay yourself at a forty-five degree angle, your elbows virtually touching the ice as you're in a turn.

Incredible! It's beautiful! You're breaking THE bonds of gravity. I have a feeling this is THE innate desire of man.

OK, that's my milestone. Carry on.

Ready Writer,
Were you quoteing someone or was that all your
sports memories? I'll wager your a boy if that's
the case. Not that gender is a big issue here at
THE but it does determine which body parts get
shaved............That sounds really bad doesnt it?
