My doctors say the more I continue to push, the more I can continue to raise that bar, the better I can get.

I don't like having noise swirling around me. Loud noises bother me, so I try to stick to the outside of a room.

I'm not involved in any Philadelphia-related game or situation. When people claim I'm going to have a "vendetta" against every other Eastern Conference team I don't understand the logic: I'm not the one doling out the punishment.

I don't want to get into a 'he said, she said' with the refs...I'm the he.

I used to have very good sixth sense - knowing exactly where someone was without seeing them.

You get a pretty good read by watching the play, and knowing what you would have done - having done most of the things that these guys are accused of doing. I put myself in their shoes: Would I have been wanting to send a message? Is it a hockey play that went a little sideways?

I wanted to stay in the game. I wanted to learn more about the league, what goes on behind the scenes. As a player, you don't really think about that, nor do you really care: you're worried about your job.
