It was great to play with some of my old linemates.

Oh, I did stop smoking a long time ago.

Once I'm at the arena with the guys in the dressing room, and in the bus, and on the plane, I'm a player. And I sit in the back with the players and I play cards and try to take their money.

As I've said, in 2007, we're free to go and we'll just have to do what's best for the business.

I have two main reasons for retiring. The first is I can no longer play at a level I was accustomed to in the past. That has been very, very frustrating to me throughout this past year. The second one is realizing my health, along with my family, is the most important thing in the world.

I think that with a lot of hard work and dedication, I feel that I could be the best in the world. I'm still only 35 years old... I have a fresh start physically and mentally, and I feel that I can achieve my goal to be the best again.

When I'm able to see the ice ahead of time when I get the puck, I'm able to make some pretty good plays.
