We don't want you at the rink, we don't want you in the stadium, we don't want you to watch hockey.

They just love to complain about me because I'm an American who gets more press than their Canadian players.

As a professional athlete, there aren't too many things as gratifying as being on the front of a box. Whether it be a cereal box or a game box. It's very gratifying.

When I get home, I'm not very happy. Especially when I didn't do something to help the cause.

I think there are a lot of crazy guys that I've played with in the past. Wayne VanDorp, when I played in Chicago. He wasn't a big name, but my God was he nuts.

Obviously ice hockey's much faster. You play street hockey, most likely, with a ball. Where the puck is more difficult to maneuver with. There's not too many things that are different. Playing on the ice is totally, totally different than playing on the street. It's totally a different game in that aspect.

I think the deal is not great for the players. It is definitely an owner-friendly deal.
