Famous quotes by Mark Messier:

"his emotion and his compassion for the game. Inside of all those things, there was his ability to excel and his expectations to win. But it was always on a team level, it was never the expectation to go out and score three goals when the score was 7-1. Mark was the kind of guy who always seemed to excel when it was a 2-1 game or a 3-2 game."

"Having lived in New York for 10-plus years, it becomes a part of you, ... I love the city and I love the team and what we were able to do. Obviously, that's a good fit for me."

"I'll go to my grave with the feelings and emotions and the memories of 1994, ... When I was traded from Edmonton, I told my agent that I wanted to go to New York to help them win a Stanley Cup. We had a great team and 1994 was a magical year for us and the city."

"I had conversations with Kevin and he's a good friend, but I thought it best to just stay in New York and announce my retirement here,"

"I wouldn't come back to play for that reason, ... I know that was talked about, but there has to be other reasons. I thought I achieved a lot in my 25 years and it was time to go."

"It's not easy winning or leading a team sport because there are so many different agendas and individuality, ... I feel lucky to have been part of some of the best hockey ever played [in Edmonton] and to be part of a team [in New York] that was willing to sacrifice themselves for the benefit of the team."

"That process in itself was an education for me."

"I came into the league as a fourth-line grinder that played a limited role,"

"I don't think it's so much that we won, I think it's how we won and the players we had and the way they held themselves and conducted themselves on and off the ice. I think that, sometimes, is almost more important than winning. We did it with so much class, with such good feelings in the city and amongst the fans. That's what really made it special."

"The only pressure I'm under is the pressure I've put on myself."

"I've never really spent a lot of time thinking about my individual accomplishments actually."

"You always really have to remain consistent in your beliefs and philosophy."

"I just think overall a lot of it has to do with conditioning and players putting in the time and the effort in the off-season to keep themselves in condition for 12 months a year."

"I would never say one was more important or more gratifying than the next because there's a tremendous amount of work, as you know, that goes into winning a cup."

"As a captain, I think it's important that the players really know who you are and what you stand for, what your beliefs are, and to be consistent in those if things are going good or things are going bad."

"I never was brought into the league thinking as far as, you know, statistics, things like that. We were really brought into the league in a team concept. Everything was focused around winning."

"My jersey hanging from the ceiling is going to be a symbol of the hard work of the people I played with."

"We had built up a team in Edmonton that really knew who each other was from a personal standpoint and from a professional standpoint. Our nucleus had stayed together for a long time."

"When you play long enough, everybody goes through spells and streaks and slumps of some nature. I think it's just one of the those things where you have to play yourself out of it."

"I think the thing you always got to keep in mind, you know, hockey is a game of one-on-one battles."
