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

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

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.

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.

I look forward to a lot more free time, at least initially, with my wife, Lisa, and our three children.

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