Radio that makes you think this is the Brian kill me Joe my

recollection was just grabbing the paper and looking at the cover and seeing we

will win tonight and just kind of laughing and shaking my head and and mark

laughing too and he said yep we're in it now aren't we. Mark Messier of course

that's what they're talking about when he talks about that mark and that is our

next guest. Mark Messier of Hall Fame hockey players six-time Stanley Cup

champion author of a brand new book called No One Wins Alone and that was

Brian Leach his longtime friend and I live very close to each other in in New

York City during their days with the Rangers together. Mark Messier welcome

back to the Brian kill me Joe. Brian Leach one of my favorite players of all

time great memories great to be honest with you. Hey Mark do you you guys still

in touch. Of course like I said Brian and I became so close playing here in

New York living in the city and driving back and forth to games and practices

over the years and of course sharing in the Stanley Cup were were soulmates

for life now. So I always thought in my lifetime and covering sports my first

job was sports phone you probably were with the Oilers at the time 97213

before even all sports radio coming at school I always thought even before you

came to the Rangers you probably the greatest leader in sports in your era

in fact the first autographed frame picture I got from my son who's now 24 was

you because I just said that is what a leader is I didn't you know you were one

of the best but didn't matter you made everybody better you care about other

people and they wanted to win for you I'm not sure how you did that but wherever
