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

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.

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

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.

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

I hope people like me and appreciate me the way I am.

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.
