Mondays with Mess – Week 1

Q:  Who do you think your toughest opponent was in terms of players that you have played against over the course of your career?

A:  THE TERM TOUGHEST SUGGESTS MANY DIFFERENT ATTRIBUTES THAT PLAYERS POSSESS.  JARI KURRI WAS ONE OF THE TOUGHEST PLAYERS I HAVE EVER PLAYED WITH FOR HIS WILLINGNESS TO TAKE A POUNDING TO SCORE A GOAL.  DAVE SEMENKO WAS ONE OF THE TOUGHEST FIGHTERS.  BRIAN LEETCH WAS ONE OF THE TOUGHEST COMPETITORS.  OVERALL COMBINATION OF EVERYTHING, I WOULD SAY SCOTT STEVENS WAS TOUGH IN EVERY WAY.  YOU HAD TO KNOW WHERE HE WAS ON THE ICE AT ALL TIMES BECAUSE HE COULD AND WOULD HURT YOU.

Q:  What attributes do you think are important for taking on the captaincy for a team?

A:  I THINK SINGLE THE MOST IMPORTANT ATTRIBUTE THAT A CAPTAIN HAS TO HAVE, IS THE TRUST AND RESPECT OF HIS TEAMMATES.  FROM THERE A STRONG FOUNDATION CAN BE BUILT TO EXPLORE ALL OF THE WAYS TO HELP EACH PLAYER REACH THEIR POTENIAL.

Q:  What off-season move do you think will have the biggest impact, why?

A:  CHRIS PRONGER GOING TO PHILLY WILL HAVE A MAJOR IMPACT IN THE EASTERN CONFEREN. KHABIBULIN GOING TO EDMONTON SHOULD REALLY PUT THEM IN POSITION TO GET BACK IN THE PLAYOFFS.

Thanks to everyone who participated this week by submitting questions and topics.  Check back next week for more!
