Mondays with Mess – Week 5

Q:  What is the biggest issue the NHLPA’s new leader will need to address?
A:  I think the new leader’s biggest challenge will be to try and unite the players again. Also, to try and get the games newest superstars involved in their future.

Q:  Do you think Sergei Zubov deserves consideration for the Hall of Fame?
He seems under-appreciated.
A:  I am a little biased when it comes to players I have played with, especially players that I have won with. Like all of us, he will go through the process of evaluation to determine if he will get in.

Q:  If you could re-live one goal from your career, which one would it be
and why?
A:  It would be very tough to single out one goal. But one goal has special meaning to me. I scored my first goal in the nhl on my mom’s birthday at home when she was at the game. Always a great memory for me.

Q: With training camps starting up for the NHL, what is a daily schedule
like for NHLer at this time?
A:  It is much different now then it was when I first started. We used to be on the ice twice a day and off ice training in between. Now the players are on the ice for 2 hours. Off ice training follows. They have media training, and many other seminars to prepare them for the upcoming season.  It is a grueling schedule from the start of training camp until the end of the season.
