I wouldn't come back to play for that reason, ... I know that was talked about, but there has to be other reasons. I thought I achieved a lot in my 25 years and it was time to go.

When you play long enough, everybody goes through spells and streaks and slumps of some nature. I think it's just one of the those things where you have to play yourself out of it.

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.

I went to New York with one thing in mind and that was to try and help win a Stanley Cup. I was lucky to be a part of a team that was willing to sacrifice themselves for the benefit of the team.
