When it gets to this point, it's just hard to pull the trigger.

As long as I could remember, since I was 5 years old, I watched the Stanley Cup. I stayed up, made a point of watching it presented, watched the celebration in the locker room, and always dreamed that maybe I'd get there.

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

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.

We should've been better, more disciplined. We made untimely mistakes defensively, as a group. This is really humbling for us. After winning the Stanley Cup, we got brought back down to earth, hard. Maybe the humbling is good for us in the long run.

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

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