"You have to have discipline and be ready for when the league gets underway, but it's tough to find the motivation right now."

"The way (the owners) have treated us during the lockout makes me angry. They aren't willing to negotiate with their 'take-it-or-leave-it' offers."

In 1,341 career NHL regular-season games, Selanne has accumulated 663 goals and 743 assists for 1,406 points.
