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

I think the lottery changed everything for us. Once we got Sidney, it helped us turn this franchise around overnight.

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.

Depending on how we start the season, I can play center or wing... It doesn't matter to me.

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.

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.

Hockey is a tough, physical game, and it always should be.
