Because I don't look like I'm skating around as hard as Bobby Bassen doesn't mean my mind isn't working twice as hard as Bobby's mind. Just because I can't fight like Kelly Chase doesn't mean standing in front of the net getting cross-checked and slashed isn't toughness as well.
Nobody should live in an environment that's not healthy.
I admire Miken's exceptional engineering capabilities and was drawn to their passion for hockey and drive to be the best in all they do.
I've said for years I could never figure out why Calgary ever drafted me. When I got there, I think they had eight or nine right wingers already. These guys were premiere players. It's not like they were extremely late in their careers, either.
I was kind of smart enough when I was young, 14 or 15 years old, to realize that if you're ever going to do anything and step out of the shadow of your own dad - not only in hockey, but in life itself - you're going to have to learn you're Brett and not 'Bobby's son.'
You know what? I don't care. I'm my own guy. I'm very secure with my sexuality. I can cry anytime I want.
I'm good at everything.
Baseball has all the money.
I'm known as a winner now.
I'm very impatient. I am. That's the bane of my game. I don't think about what I'm going to do - I just go hit it, I don't stop to wait and think. Costs me two shots a round.
I don't like hockey. I'm just good at it.
My son's 8 he loves his skateboarding and his bike and his snowboard.
I'm scared to death to fly commercial I have not flown commercial since 9/11.
Do I catch flak because I'm so much smarter than everyone else? I don't know.
