One of the advantages, one of the special things, about playing in Detroit or Montreal is guys like Gordie Howe walk in the room. I didn't know he was here tonight, it was kind of a coincidence to get that assist on a night that he's here.

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

It's been a great honor for me to be a player for the Detroit Red Wings, to play for an Original Six franchise. I know I'm far from perfect, but I learned a lot.

We have two tables on our airplane that are set up with the games.

I don't know that I'd agree I was our best player.

We’re stuck in the middle and need to decide what kind of sport do we want to be. Either anything goes and we accept the consequences or take the next step and eliminate fighting.

Very few cities in the NHL have the history or the following of the Detroit Red Wings.
