“If we ever establish contact with intelligent aliens living on a planet around a distant star ... They would be made of similar atoms to us. They could trace their origins back to the big bang 13.7 billion years ago, and they would share with us the universe's future.

“Two or three years ago, every game I want to score. And after I score a goal I have a spark and I'm so happy I want more. Now I'mkind of different. I'm not saying I lost my spark - I still have it - but I don't chase the goal as much as I used to. I'm playing for the team andI still know I can score, but it's different than two or three years back.Look at great teams like Detroit a couple of years ago; they winthe Stanley Cup and guys only score 25 goals, nobody has a really big season. You have to play defense, that's how you win.” KnowsWantYearsLooksStillsI CanTwoDifferentPlayBigsUsedGuyThreeGamesWinningLostGoalTeamCoupleYears AgoSeasonsDefenseCupsScoreHockeySparksThree YearsDetroitStanleyGreat TeamStanley Cup Author:Peter Bondra
