FEDOROV ON THE RECORD ON HIS DAYS DATING ANNA KOURNIKOVA

          Red Wings C SERGEI FEDOROV "has been an NHL story for
     10 years," but "in many ways, Fedorov remains the most
     puzzling star in hockey," according to Mitch Albom of the
     DETROIT FREE PRESS.  Fedorov: "Some people -- some
     journalists, I think -- are a little bit afraid of me.  They
     don't know how to take what I say. ... I think people need
     to realize I am my own self.  I don't speak to the media to
     try to kiss somebody's butt.  I just try to answer the
     questions."  Asked about his relationship with ANNA
     KOURNIKOVA, Fedorov said, "When I was with her, I was living
     in a soup bowl.  I tried to just do my job, concentrate on
     my hockey and support her career like she supports my
     career."  But then "people start talking. It snowballs. I
     was dating someone who was more famous than me, more famous
     than probably anyone in our locker room."  On "the stories
     about their breakup," Fedorov said, "Nobody really knows
     what went on.  But the rumors ... after a while it was just
     sad, you know? ... Dating Anna was a learning experience,
     that is for sure.  Sometimes not very fun, but that is what
     it is" (DETROIT FREE PRESS, 4/19).
