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

I'm still on the edge. It's just that I don't want to hurt the team by going over that edge. I've learned not to be as maniacal as I used to be.

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 always wanted to play professional hockey. Every hockey player's dream, no matter at what level or what age, is to play professionally. At first you don't know what it's all about, but you have that dream and you always work hard toward it. The older you get, the more you start dedicating yourself to the game.

The more noise, the higher I get.

It's always discouraging when you don't have things go your way. They are frustrated just like the rest of us.

It takes two guys on a team to do very well in the end and be successful.
