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

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.

As a captain, I think it's important that the players really know who you are and what you stand for, what your beliefs are, and to be consistent in those if things are going good or things are going bad.

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.

I think the idea of the obstruction through the neutral zone and away from the puck was an excellent rule.

When I left here I left everything here. It's time to move on

Really the team often will take on the personality of its coach.
