My best friend had a hockey scholarship at Ohio State, so I would get a couple of pairs at the beginning of the season and send them down to him. They practised two hours a day. He'd skate in them for three weeks then ship them back.

I can't remember the last time I went to a game and there was a fight. I think they fight more in baseball now than they do in hockey.

As a player, you have one responsibility, to focus yourself and be ready for the game. As a coach, your responsibility is to get 20 guys ready and have them all on the same page. If you can't get every guy ready every night, you're going to struggle.

When you're playing an exhibition, you're kind of letting everyone get an opportunity.

Your friends, family, and kids have to understand that's your priority. It's the only way you can be successful.
