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

My only goal is to win the Stanley Cup and do what I have to to win that.

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

Football, you can go out and buy a football and play it in your backyard. Basketball, you can go out and play it in the schoolyard or in your driveway. Baseball, you get a glove and a bat and a ball and you go out and play in the neighborhood. You can't do that in hockey.

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

With my kids I have to get involved in the Scooby Doo games and the basic kid games that go on. I find myself getting on it more and more just because of my kids.

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