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

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.

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.

I hope people like me and appreciate me the way I am.

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.

I don't know if I've ever had a memorable body check. It's not really part of my game.

I mean, the best thing for my knee, for anyone's knee, is to never play again and retire. But I'm not going to do that.
