NHL ALL-STAR WEEKENDJanuary 19, 1996Mike GartnerBOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS Q. (INAUDIBLE.) MIKE GARTNER: Once again, it doesn't really bother me much to not get recognized. I kind of think it is kind of nice. Q. You have got family in Toronto, you come home -- (INAUDIBLE.) MIKE GARTNER: I have said over the last year that I never feel cheated. Those would never be my words. But I am disappointed that I wasn't part of that, you know, surely, and I look back on that and thought maybe it could have been, but I am a firm believer that everything happens for a reason and that I am exactly where I am supposed to be exactly the right time that I am supposed to be there. So, I have no regrets that way. Q. Was it difficult watching it? MIKE GARTNER: Very. Q. What did you do, did you curse at them? Did you hope they'd lose? MIKE GARTNER: No. None of that. I just watched as an impartial observer. Q. As a player who has, I guess, you would epitomize longevity along with some others. What does it take for you and a Mark Messier to play at a level that you are playing at especially a Mess, being and All Star and winning another Cup, what does it take, is it an aberration; can other players aspire to the same thing? MIKE GARTNER: Well, other players have done it in the past, and they have plowed the way for guys like us. I don't think it is such an unusual thing with certain individuals. I think the main thing that it does take -- it takes the love of the game. You can't play there long if you don't enjoy hockey. End of FastScripts.... |
