It's true that in Canada, we pride ourselves on the game, and we like to think we're the dominant hockey nation in the world.

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

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

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.

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

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

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