Danny Wright: As a kid did you ever have an outdoor rink you used to play on?</br></br> Keith Primeau: Not in the yard, not in my parents yard, but around the corner or around the block at the schoolyard. The schoolyard every winter had a frozen surface, so I was allowed to go over there until the streetlights came on, and then I had to head home. I was young, but I still remember the memories of outdoor hockey fondly.</br></br> DW: Did you have a specific hockey jersey you wore as a youngster out on the rink?</br></br> KP: I didnt, but obvious growing up in the Toronto area I was a huge Leafs fan. I was a Maple Leafs fan until I started playing professional hockey.</br></br> DW: Did you have a hockey hero growing up?</br></br> KP: Again, as a Leafs fan I was a huge Darryl Sittler fan who was the captain of the Leafs at the time.</br></br> <div style="background-color:#fff;display:inline-block;font-family:Helvetica Neue,Arial,sans-serif;color:#a7a7a7;font-size:11px;width:100%;max-width:395px;"><div style="overflow:hidden;position:relative;height:0;padding:150.379747% 0 0 0;width:100%;"><iframe src="//embed.gettyimages.com/embed/52162711?et=3LML7kpvQ7hyK060dbo_Ww&similar=on&sig=eh8cP8zvCr8HSTCFh8epatue86hJ72zwgv3-IJfprCI=" width="395" height="594" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="display:inline-block;position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;"></iframe></div><p style="margin:0;"></p><div style="padding:0;margin:0 0 0 10px;text-align:left;"><a href="http://www.gettyimages.com/detail/52162711" target="_blank" style="color:#a7a7a7;text-decoration:none;font-weight:normal !important;border:none;display:inline-block;">#52162711</a> / <a href="http://www.gettyimages.com" target="_blank" style="color:#a7a7a7;text-decoration:none;font-weight:normal !important;border:none;display:inline-block;">gettyimages.com</a></div></div> </br></br> DW: Whos your favourite player in todays NHL and why?</br></br> KP: I like watching [Steven] Stamkos; hes big and rangy and has that great release. Hes a player. Offensively hes a threat every time hes on the ice. Its guys like that who are always fun to watch.</br></br> <div style="background-color:#fff;display:inline-block;font-family:Helvetica Neue,Arial,sans-serif;color:#a7a7a7;font-size:11px;width:100%;max-width:594px;"><div style="overflow:hidden;position:relative;height:0;padding:67.508418% 0 0 0;width:100%;"><iframe src="//embed.gettyimages.com/embed/479303113?et=6hHz5W9YRqFO_G3_U97kiQ&similar=off&sig=Ux924vrOS8RYmB2OJ7bzXeEbPcEWAou1ZnjI4DD4gUI=" width="594" height="401" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="display:inline-block;position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;"></iframe></div><p style="margin:0;"></p><div style="padding:0;margin:0 0 0 10px;text-align:left;"><a href="http://www.gettyimages.com/detail/479303113" target="_blank" style="color:#a7a7a7;text-decoration:none;font-weight:normal !important;border:none;display:inline-block;">#479303113</a> / <a href="http://www.gettyimages.com" target="_blank" style="color:#a7a7a7;text-decoration:none;font-weight:normal !important;border:none;display:inline-block;">gettyimages.com</a></div></div></br></br> DW: If you could choose one team to play for in todays NHL, which team would you pick and why?</br></br> KP: Probably the LA Kings because theyve had so much success and theyre built for the playoffs. Theyre not a team that has dominated the regular season, but come postseason time theyve been great. They find ways to win games and its always somebody different. Its a unique setup. So ya, probably the LA Kings.</br></br> <div style="background-color:#fff;display:inline-block;font-family:Helvetica Neue,Arial,sans-serif;color:#a7a7a7;font-size:11px;width:100%;max-width:594px;"><div style="overflow:hidden;position:relative;height:0;padding:67.003367% 0 0 0;width:100%;"><iframe src="//embed.gettyimages.com/embed/146684222?et=l0na0GerRpxQ_atqsMqVxA&similar=off&sig=m11t_yjSIzenz2sSrFO_4YZDLG63M_zb5dxGLwSRpcw=" width="594" height="398" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="display:inline-block;position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;"></iframe></div><p style="margin:0;"></p><div style="padding:0;margin:0 0 0 10px;text-align:left;"><a href="http://www.gettyimages.com/detail/146684222" target="_blank" style="color:#a7a7a7;text-decoration:none;font-weight:normal !important;border:none;display:inline-block;">#146684222</a> / <a href="http://www.gettyimages.com" target="_blank" style="color:#a7a7a7;text-decoration:none;font-weight:normal !important;border:none;display:inline-block;">gettyimages.com</a></div></div></br></br> DW: Whats the best prank you ever witnessed pulled in a hockey locker room?</br></br> KP: The one that I always remember that gives me the greatest chuckle was the time Chris Therien took Daymond Langkows dress shoes, we were in Buffalo, and he had them glued to the ceiling in the locker room. Daymond obviously couldnt get them down because he wasnt tall in stature… even me at 65” wouldnt have been able to get them down! Its just one of those silly pranks. Im not sure where he got the glue or how he got them up there, but he did and it was funny.</br></br> DW: Whats the most memorable game you ever played in the NHL?</br></br> KP: I guess the most memorable game would have to be the fifth overtime in Pittsburgh. It was certainly the most memorable goal, back in 2000 in the Eastern Conference Finals. But also, the most memorable game personally might be Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals in 2004 where I was more involved offensively, I was all over the score sheet, and it was an elimination game we ended up winning. That was a very memorable game for me as well.</br></br> DW: What is the strangest NHL moment you ever experienced in your career?</br></br> KP: I dont know if it was a moment… I guess it was a moment in time. 1991 was my second year in the league, it ended up being a strike year, and that year I had gone back and fourth between Adirondack and Detroit literally four or five times. The strike occurred, we went down for the playoffs, got called back up when the strike ended, got sent back down when we ended up losing, and then went on to win the Calder Cup in Adirondack. It was just a very bizarre stretch of about three months in my career.</br></br> <div style="background-color:#fff;display:inline-block;font-family:Helvetica Neue,Arial,sans-serif;color:#a7a7a7;font-size:11px;width:100%;max-width:594px;"><div style="overflow:hidden;position:relative;height:0;padding:66.835017% 0 0 0;width:100%;"><iframe src="//embed.gettyimages.com/embed/52409977?et=7HuLOxbQTqBX9VzgYfimzg&similar=on&sig=qTUmF3Kvfvq8M92AMDZX4DVLdmz-rqKd86iOcusBy4I=" width="594" height="397" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="display:inline-block;position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;"></iframe></div><p style="margin:0;"></p><div style="padding:0;margin:0 0 0 10px;text-align:left;"><a href="http://www.gettyimages.com/detail/52409977" target="_blank" style="color:#a7a7a7;text-decoration:none;font-weight:normal !important;border:none;display:inline-block;">#52409977</a> / <a href="http://www.gettyimages.com" target="_blank" style="color:#a7a7a7;text-decoration:none;font-weight:normal !important;border:none;display:inline-block;">gettyimages.com</a></div></div></br></br> DW: I know you dropped the gloves against your brother - what was it like to fight a sibling on the NHL stage?</br></br> KP: It was in the heat of the moment, and on reflection both Wayne and I agreed it wasnt the smartest thing wed ever done and swore it would never happen again. Its something YouTube has resurrected for me and is brought up in a lot of conversations as Im seen around town.</br></br> DW: If the science behind concussions, and player safety was where it is today, do you think you might have approached the game differently as a player?</br></br> KP: I dont know if I would, but I would definitely understand it better, so theres the chance that I would have approached it better or differently. The sad thing is, ultimately I cant say that I would have. But I agree that with the heightened awareness and the education thats occurred, certainly people are approaching it much differently than they did even as early as five or ten years ago.</br></br> <div style="background-color:#fff;display:inline-block;font-family:Helvetica Neue,Arial,sans-serif;color:#a7a7a7;font-size:11px;width:100%;max-width:594px;"><div style="overflow:hidden;position:relative;height:0;padding:79.966330% 0 0 0;width:100%;"><iframe src="//embed.gettyimages.com/embed/53131589?et=bKsqdstJQ4VDNz-ydY4wqg&similar=on&sig=p1wJVU0N5c9wU9Vse6po7Rk-JYSffWu7LiRVbgVyLGE=" width="594" height="475" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="display:inline-block;position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;"></iframe></div><p style="margin:0;"></p><div style="padding:0;margin:0 0 0 10px;text-align:left;"><a href="http://www.gettyimages.com/detail/53131589" target="_blank" style="color:#a7a7a7;text-decoration:none;font-weight:normal !important;border:none;display:inline-block;">#53131589</a> / <a href="http://www.gettyimages.com" target="_blank" style="color:#a7a7a7;text-decoration:none;font-weight:normal !important;border:none;display:inline-block;">gettyimages.com</a></div></div></br></br> DW: Tell me a little bit about the Stop Concussions Source for Sports Skate Sharpening Day youll take part in Saturday?</br></br> KP: Source for Sports has been a huge supporter of Stop Concussions and a huge contributor to our growth and ongoing success.
