I've been hit hard a few times, been hit really hard a few times, but I don't think I've ever left a memorable, lasting impression on anyone I've ever hit.

We should've been better, more disciplined. We made untimely mistakes defensively, as a group. This is really humbling for us. After winning the Stanley Cup, we got brought back down to earth, hard. Maybe the humbling is good for us in the long run.

Since the season ended, I've let things settle down, and I have to talk to the coaching staff and management. I really don't want to turn this into a big drama. So I plan on making a definite decision relatively quickly.

When it gets to this point, it's just hard to pull the trigger.

I'm never gonna play again, and I know I'm really, really going to miss it.

Balanced is probably what I am, although that's just a polite way to say that you don't do anything very well.

People here want the team to win and to do well. The thing is, we know when to shoot the puck.
