Quote:
“Did I realize what I was doing that year?’’ repeats the 1989 Conn Smythe Trophy winner, back in town this day as VP of Hockey Operations for the St. Louis Blues. “Not really. I mean, I look at it now, and go ‘Wow. A hundred points.’
“Seems crazy.
“But back then, you just get so wrapped up in your day-to-day, game-to-game, week-to-week routine, getting ready for the next game, that it all goes by in a kind of blur.
“As a player, you’re not thinking about personal milestones. At least I didn’t. I know it sounds a bit goofy, but I’d always compare a season to a round of golf: Doesn’t matter what you shot out there, you always felt you left something on the course.
“If you shot 77, you felt ‘Damn, without those two three-putts I could’ve shot 74.’
“I took that away from every season.”
