Darren McCarty is a big video game guy, and he brings his systems with him on the road.

And for the team, I always tried to do the right thing.

As a kid in British Columbia, going back a long way, I learned to skate.

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.

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.

Since the season ended, I've let things settle down, and I have to talk to the coaching staff and management. I really don't want to turn this into a big drama. So I plan on making a definite decision relatively quickly.

I knew if I wanted to be a general manager, I was going to have to leave to work for another organization.
