Mario Lemieux Quotes

When someone screams at me to hurry up, I slow down.

When I’m able to see the ice ahead of time when I get the puck, I’m able to make some pretty good plays.

Well, I think just a desire to come back and be a part of the game again.

The first few games that we played against some of the teams, the young guys, you know, want a stick sign or photo sign, and I think that they respect what I have achieved throughout my career.

Since the beginning, I always loved the game. When you grow up in Montreal, one day you want to be a professional hockey player. When I was six or seven, I knew that was what I wanted.

Once I’m at the arena with the guys in the dressing room, and in the bus, and on the plane, I’m a player. And I sit in the back with the players and I play cards and try to take their money.
