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

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

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.

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.

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

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

I also feel I adapted. I was willing to try to fit into any role. The way I figured, it was always up to me to prove my worth, that I deserved to be here.
