He is natural, honest, funny, straightforward.... refreshing.

Way too many media-coached trite babble these days.

Loved guys like Shanahan, Pronger, Hull... each has been quoted saying what they think, simply and directly, often to get humour (though Shanny lied through his teeth for years, pulling the media's leg about his hobbies and interests, just to spice things up, gawd that was a hoot to find out!)

"When I see a little boy, I remember when I was little and I used to stand and wait for some guy I would go to after a game. They are fans, and they want my signature. They live in Washington, and they are fans of our team. I think if I signed 10 signatures and there were 20 more fans waiting and I didn't sign for them also, they would want to know why, and I would feel bad. If you have time, why not sign them all?"
