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

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

It's almost like you see too much, because when it happens for real, everything flies at you so fast, you never get a sense of the ice and where everyone is at that one moment.

I don't know that I'd agree I was our best player.

There used to be an old thing where every team had a heavy bag in their locker room for people to punch, but again, it was more about conditioning because if you hit a heavy bag for a minute, it feels like your arms are about to fall off.

I'm exhausted trying to stay healthy.

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.
