My quality of life here in Quebec City is extraordinary.

I didn't hear him because my two Stanley Cup rings were plugging my ears.

I can't hear what Jeremy says because my ears are blocked with my two Stanley Cup Rings.

Peter Forsberg's skills and determination made him one of the most powerful forwards in the NHL during the best years of his career. Hearing of his retirement is sad news but one day every athlete has to come to this decision. He should be very proud of all he accomplished throughout his career.

The scariest thing in the world is losing your mask.
