It was the thing that jettisoned me on the rest of this journey. When you first started writing, who were you writing for? What were your intentions? This material had been bubbling up in my system for a long time. I had been dealing with them on a personal level and frankly thought I had a great handle on them.
I wrote it as part of my effort to really understand what had happened and what I wanted my future to look like. Did the memoir help you with that? Was it part of the healing process? One of the surprises about examining this episode of my life was the fact that the need on some level to forgive Malabar took a backseat to the need to understand her. What she did was not a healthy maternal choice. It was not good for me, but I felt like I understood it more. She went through trauma in her life that is unimaginable to me — losing a child, having your husband [Charles] have all these strokes.
I know the book I wrote, and the heart which went behind it. I worked hard to portray my mother with a lot of depth. No part of me wanted to write a black-and-white portrayal of our relationship or of her. They scored that second goal and we probably had the better chances in the second period, so really happy to see that. They challenged wide a few times and got the puck to the net and got a few shots to the net and they were crashing the net. We did a good job of really forcing them to put pucks to the net and then everybody helped each other out and battled.
Some of the most intense I played I was happy the boys got a few blocks and the puck came to me a few times where I was pretty fortunate, it was just kind of sitting there and our guys tied up. So I was really happy to see that.
Hopefully it provides the confidence we need to keep moving forward but emotionally we need t make sure we are not going to get too high We want to keep battling and keep playing and there are going to be some tough teams ahead. It's not about stats. For me, it's all about getting Ws. This is where I'm comfortable.
It's not talking to you guys in the media. It's playing hockey. Q: If Lou decides you're more valuable to stay, are you good with that? I'm good with anything. Like I said, this is a private conversation I had. I'm not going to tell you what I asked or what was told.
But again, one way or the other, we'll deal with what I have to do. And I have the last word. I didn't give up anything of my no-trade status right now. And I'm planning on keeping it until I'm asked. Q: You mentioned this season and next, and that you haven't been asked to waive your no-trade clause.
Is a contract extension a possibility? Brodeur: "It could be. It's not something that's out of question. I feel well enough.
Especially physically, I've felt as good as I've felt in the last three or four years. I know I'm not getting any younger, but I'm feeling good and I'm enjoying the game.
It's just I want to play the game. And we'll see what's going to happen with the conversations I had with Lou in the future of this. But everything is a possibility.
Q: Are you frustrated by all the media attention? Brodeur: "It's been awhile. It was the Stanley Cup Final the last time I had all this. You know what I think? It's a hard situation I never had to go through. And a lot of people are telling you different things because they have different emotions about what's happened to me in the last two months or so. I gained a lot of experience from it. Dan Rice.
