I'm trying to be among the elite night after night, year after year. I just want to be the best ... and I love winning.

I have been dealing with back problems since 1995 when I was with the Blackhawks, and I've only missed part of one season because of it. That was last season in Toronto.

I hate to lose. Sometimes, I let my emotions get out of control.

I've been real fortunate to be on a lot of great teams.

I'm competitive. I'd love another chance to be part of a Stanley Cup championship team. That'd be awesome.

I take it upon myself to get motivated. I know when I have a bad game. It's something I think about myself when it happens, and I don't need someone to tell me I didn't do this or didn't do that.

Sometimes you can press a little bit and you're trying to do too much and you're trying too hard. You want to win so bad and you want to help the team so badly that you end up trying too much instead of letting the play come to you.
