I started as a fourth-line fighter, went to being a third-line centre, then a second-line winger and a first-line centre. I've played every role there is, and the only thing that matters is helping the team win.

When Wayne was traded, I became captain. For me it really wasn't anything - I didn't do anything or I didn't feel I had to do anything different than what I had been doing all along.

You always really have to remain consistent in your beliefs and philosophy.

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

It's a tough game, and you never want to take that aspect out of the game.

If I had to compare any of the two, I'd compare the first one in Edmonton, the first one here in New York because it had been so long in New York since we had won. Obviously, being the first time to ever win the cup in Edmonton, they were fairly similar in that regard.

Bravery is not the absence of fear, but the action in the face of fear.
