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

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.

I played with a lot of great players before. They're all the same. They take a lot of responsibility for their own play, put a lot of pressure on themselves to perform and to play well.

My jersey hanging from the ceiling is going to be a symbol of the hard work of the people I played with.

I just think overall a lot of it has to do with conditioning and players putting in the time and the effort in the off-season to keep themselves in condition for 12 months a year.

The only pressure I'm under is the pressure I've put on myself.

I haven't celebrated coming in No. 2 too many times.
