I couldn't beat people with my strength; I don't have a hard shot; I'm not the quickest skater in the league. My eyes and my mind have to do most of the work.

I watched how fast he skated and how hard he shot that puck. I wish I had an extra No. 7 in a red jersey. I could have found a spot for him on my power play.

It's not going to be easy every day, but I'm going to work hard, and our players are going to work hard, ... I look forward to this as a new chapter in my life, and I can't wait to get started.

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

We've got a lot of work ahead of us. We've got to win over a lot of people, ... But in time we hope we will. It's a great sports city. It's a wonderful city, a beautiful building. If we play hard, people are going to start supporting us more and more every day.

That shot kind of broke our backs.
