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.

Oh, I did stop smoking a long time ago.

I'm sorry I didn't feel any better or play any better, but that's what happens at the end of careers.

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

For as long as I can remember I wanted to be a professional hockey player.

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.

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.
