They thought we were going to hurt the game, but we just wanted to help ourselves, because the players needed to get together to protect their interests.

I watch a lot of hockey. There are some good hockey players and there are some awfully stupid hockey players.

At 39, I was back in a Red Wings uniform and loving it.

A series of rumors about my attitude, as well as derogatory remarks about myself and my family showed me that the personal resentment of the Detroit general manager toward me would make it impossible for me to continue playing hockey in Detroit.

I liked playing in Chicago, and I gave them everything I had, but I knew in my heart I was a Red Wing.

When it was my turn, I just skated out and heard this huge cheer. It was very touching considering the bad circumstances under which I had left the team and that I had been away for four years.
