A 3-1 lead is not four wins but it would have given us a good stranglehold on the series and good teams have that killer instinct to finish off their opponent. We've tried to learn that all season long.

Al did such a great job as captain last year. I need to focus and concentrate on helping this team win hockey games. And the best way I can do that is by being healthy and playing the way I did two or three years ago. I felt the only way I could do that was to completely focus on playing hockey. Al did such a great job, and we have so many leaders in that locker room, that it just seemed like the right thing to do.

Aside from our special teams, we played pretty well. That's been the story of our season so far.

At times we got caught up in what was going to be called and what wasn't, and what other teams were getting away with. It's a matter of adjusting and understanding what [the referees] are and aren't going to call.

Guys like Dick Pound can't make blanket statements about our league like that. Just because baseball and football have problems doesn't mean hockey should be lumped in with those sports.

He probably wanted to kill everyone.

He was always very unassuming, a regular guy, but his approach to training and preparation was amazing. He was really a consummate professional, a great leader.
|
He's been great at camp. He definitely has a great set of hands and he can sniff out the net, that's for sure. Hopefully he's going to be a player who can step in and show some scoring and pick up a role on this team.

I did a video but I don't know, did they lose it? I think they lost it.

I don't really think it has anything to do with any of us over there. It has nothing to do with me, so I don't really have anything to say about it. When you find somebody who's involved, you can talk to them.
|
I don't think it's become that big of an issue.
|
I know I've been constantly watching what I put into my body. I think this process has us on edge because it's not an exact science.
|
I need to work on being healthy.
|
I think anything is a realistic option at this stage, We can't rule anything out in the future.

I think everybody wants to end their career the way they want it to end. For people in Al's position, a high-level player who had a lot left in the tank, to have your career end that way is ... very difficult.
