When you're on the ice, you have very little time, you see very little, and everything happens really quick.

I'm very confident my health isn't going to allow me to be a good player, especially in the spring.

As long as I could remember, since I was 5 years old, I watched the Stanley Cup. I stayed up, made a point of watching it presented, watched the celebration in the locker room, and always dreamed that maybe I'd get there.

I consider the Detroit Red Wings one of the greatest franchises in any sport. For a player to come in and play, it's so special to wear the jersey.

We have to get better at that. All of the Stanley Cup winning teams throughout the past few seasons, when they needed to play defense, they did it. If you can play defense, that's when you know it's game over.

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

The 70's hair with the long on the sides, just doesn't look good coming down the sides of the helmet.
