I'm realistic. And realistically, I'm not that type of player that earns that type of money any more. So I'd be willing to take a little cut to get a couple of extra years.

I'm patient with crossword puzzles and the most impatient golfer.

Sometimes guys need to cry. Some hockey players think they're too tough to cry.

I'm not dumb enough to be a goalie.

I am 10 times smarter than everyone else in this game. Beyond a shadow of a doubt.

You know what, I had 11 great years with St. Louis. My gosh, those are the best years of my life. And I will never, ever forget that.

I don't like hockey. I'm just good at it.
