Well, my transition into being a captain was easy.

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.

25 years later, you know, I haven't really put too much emphasis on any kind of individual goal, other than trying to win any particular night, trying to find a way to do that.

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

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

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

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.
