That's the hardest part of this whole process. The best part is picking the players and the worst part is telling basically five players they are not going to play tonight.

The highest compliment that you can pay me is to say that I work hard every day, that I never dog it.

Growing up, I was always the small guy.

I just like to keep my money in the bank; I'm not a big risk-taker. I don't know anything about the stock market... I stay away from things I don't know anything about.

One of the key qualities that you need to be a great hockey player is fantastic anticipation and feel for the game - if you know where the puck is going before it is hit, that is half the battle.

Lifting the Stanley Cup for the first time. There's nothing like it. It's the greatest story. In my era, they used to say you couldn't be a superstar without winning one. I remember thinking when I lifted it: "Now they can't say that about me."

It really doesn't matter or concern me what people are saying or who thinks who is the favorite. The bottom line is you have to play.
