forgive spelling mistakes…typing with one arm stinks

1) how has the speed of the game changed since your day

2) Rod – you won back to back Norris trophies as the best NHL defenseman, do you think the voters today pay too much attention to the offensive stats produced by defensemen, and not enough to the play in the defensive zone?

3) Would you like to see 2 awards? The Bobby Orr award for best offesnive defesnsemen and the norris for best defensemen so defensive minded guys get a better shot? Maybe a Rod Langway awared for best defensive defensemen?

4) you were famous along with Craig McTavish for being the last of the helmetless playrers. If there were no helmet rules, and you were coming into the league as a rookie, would you still play helmetless.

5) Hockey in washington is experiencing an unprecedented growth in terms of fan base, media coverage and so on. How do the crowds today compare to the crowds at the old Cap Center?

6) You are often credited for saving hockey in Washington after coming over in a trade from Montreal. It must feel great to see how hockey mad washington has become.

7) Do you get a chance to catch a lot of games in person?

1) Who has a better slap shot, you or Ovie?

2) You were one of the fastest players in the game during the clutch and grab/ neutral zone trap era of the 90’s. Do you think you would have scored a lot more If you were playing in you prime in today’s more open NHL?

3) As the GM of the Slovakia National team, how much time do you spend scouting NHL players? Are you able to catch many Caps games?

4) Who do you think will win the gold at the Vancouver games? Are you going to guarantee a medal for Sklovakia? (they are extreme long shots so he might get offended, up to you to ask this)

4) could re-ask this one.. Hockey in washington is experiencing an unprecedented growth in terms of fan base, media coverage and so on. How do the crowds today compare to the crowds at the old Cap Center?

5) Olie Kolzig just announced his retirement, which got me thinking back to the magical 1998 cup run. (jokingly) Have you forgiven Esa Tikannen for missing that empty net in game 2? I think if i was in the locker room after that game I would have slapped him.

6) As a GM, how close do you think the current Caps team is to being a stanley cup Champ. What piece or pieces do you think they’re missing if any?
