The first few games that we played against some of the teams, the young guys, you know, want a stick sign or photo sign, and I think that they respect what I have achieved throughout my career.

My body's feeling it a little bit. But one good thing, my back is in good shape, and that's my main concern. I know that my legs are going to take awhile to get back to where I was a few years ago, but as long as my back is solid, I feel that I can play many years.

Oh, I did stop smoking a long time ago.

Certainly we're not satisfied with just winning games. We've been playing some pretty good hockey, but we think we can play much better.

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

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

All I can say to the young players is, enjoy every moment of it. Just enjoy every moment of it. Your career goes by very quickly.
