What he did there was very smart. He deflected attention from the players, and he let them play, and I think that was coaching as much as anything.

I've noticed he doesn't appear as patient as he normally is when traffic comes in front. We'll just get his work ethic going and try to get him comfortable and figure it out.

He doesn't mind seeking support. He did it as a player, and he did it with Team Canada, and I imagine he'll do it with coaching. He is not afraid to put quality people around him and let them do their jobs.

I know there are a lot of people who say that great players have trouble coaching, but I do think he is a little different. Two things you value in a coach are patience and long-term focus, and I think Wayne has both of those.

He was challenged after the first period, whether it was internally or externally, he was challenged. And he rose up to that challenge. I think that's important for any player.

I was never worried that synthesizers would replace musicians. First of all, you have to be a musician in order to make music with a synthesizer.
