I was assistant in Edmonton with Wayne as captain, and Kevin Lowe was the other assistant.

We had built up a team in Edmonton that really knew who each other was from a personal standpoint and from a professional standpoint. Our nucleus had stayed together for a long time.

It's like Wayne said on the conference call this morning, Sid could be the captain of this team in 2010.

I think the idea of the obstruction through the neutral zone and away from the puck was an excellent rule.

I just think overall a lot of it has to do with conditioning and players putting in the time and the effort in the off-season to keep themselves in condition for 12 months a year.

I think the thing you always got to keep in mind, you know, hockey is a game of one-on-one battles.
