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.

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.

Play without fear, and you will be successful.

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

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.

Oh, I did stop smoking a long time ago.

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.
