I played with them a fair bit two years ago; I enjoy playing with them,

I think it's a fair way to replay the game. I know they debated which was the best thing to do. They felt, you know, if we're going to make the fans come back, give them a whole game.

A little bit surprised I guess, I don't really expect that. But I think when it all comes out - I don't know the whole story yet - but when it all comes out it won't be as exciting I think as a lot of people are hoping it's going to be.

Some of the best young players in the game are Canadian, ... I don't care how many years you have played and how much success you have had. This is the only year that matters. ... To me, I have to earn the place.

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.

They are playing the way they played three years ago in terms of just pressuring the passer and playing a lot more man coverage. I think once those young defensive backs get in a flow in things and get a feel for how fast the ball is coming out, they are going to be even better,
