Coaching really is an individual philosophy.

I was assistant in Edmonton with Wayne as captain, and Kevin Lowe was the other assistant.

There was a time there in the mid '80s to the '90s there that we played six finals, three Canada Cups, we were playing hockey almost 10 months a year for a long time there.

We had built up a team in Edmonton that really knew who each other was from a personal standpoint and from a professional standpoint. Our nucleus had stayed together for a long time.

But I just think as a captain, everybody's different.

Biologically, I'm 10. Chronologically, I'm 33. In hockey years, I'm 66.

I never was brought into the league thinking as far as, you know, statistics, things like that. We were really brought into the league in a team concept. Everything was focused around winning.
