TSN has this on Mark Messier...Messier, now 47 and retired since 2005, says he didn't really think it through when he made his bold statement to the media.
"When I was faced with the press the day before the game, I thought 'what a great idea it would be for the players to wake up the day of the game and find out how much I believed in us and how I thought we could go in there and win that game,"' Messier said in a phone interview Tuesday from his home in Hilton Head, S.C.
"My oversight was 14 million other New Yorkers and the New Jersey Devils were going to read the same article. I was so focused in, I thought only the 20 players on our team were going to read that paper."
...hopefully we can get a little Messier magic this year to get us back to the Stanley Cup Finals.
...man I love reading anything about Messier or the 1993-94 season.
