When you’re on the ice, you have very little time, you see very little, and everything happens really quick.

I can pretty much make a quick decision on what I want to do for the future.

Obviously there was concern. You fear for the guy’s life.

I’d love to do it one more time. . . . I’ll never get tired of doing this.

We have two tables on our airplane that are set up with the games.

I played with the guy his entire career, … and it’s sad to see him move on.

Every country’s players play a similar style, every country is a little bit unique in how they play. I think those guys are really comfortable together on the ice. Whether it’s just communication or just...

It’s almost like you see too much, because when it happens for real, everything flies at you so fast, you never get a sense of the ice and where everyone is at that one moment.

You know, I’m comfortable with it and in some ways I look forward to it, … As much as I’d like to compete, it’s difficult. It gets old. You’re battling; guys are big and strong...

That was kind of the goal and that comes pretty quickly. Things go pretty quick and you’re there. Before you know it, you’re 35 and you want to continue playing.

I also feel I adapted. I was willing to try to fit into any role. The way I figured, it was always up to me to prove my worth, that I deserved to be here.

the hardest really I’ve skated since the first of the week.

It’s too bad that decision had to be made … I always thought he would retire a Red Wing. I think we will be seeing more of this kind of movement now with the salary-cap...

I would have loved the opportunity to play against Ottawa this year. We missed the entire division. Having said that, I think we played enough quality games against top teams and very good teams that...

We used to play a lot outdoors, not in leagues, but just in our spare time.

The best thing for everybody is that we go home and analyze as an organization what happened, where we went wrong and what needs to be done for the future. I’d like to leave my...

You can’t much stock in one or two games. But if we’re able to win these games, it will open the gap a little bit more.

We penalize and suspend players for making contact with the head while checking, in an effort to reduce head injuries, yet we still allow fighting. We’re stuck in the middle and need to decide what...

They want me to come back and play and do what I can do, just come and play and try,

But I think the job he’s done is overlooked, just because of the talent we have.

Balanced is probably what I am, although that’s just a polite way to say that you don’t do anything very well.

We’ve always developed it with the close proximity and the Ohio-Michigan thing. There’s a lot of enthusiasm at games, and that will just add to it, I’m sure.

He’s a good open ice hitter. Not the kind of guy who will deliver the big hit on the glass. He will get a reputation for that.

Being out last year with an injury, I sat up high and watched a lot of games, and you see so much more and it just seems so much slower from up top.

It’s true that in Canada, we pride ourselves on the game, and we like to think we’re the dominant hockey nation in the world.

He’s a great young player and he played a big role for us. … But we’ll do what we can. We still should have a pretty strong lineup.

For the guys going to the Olympics, the intensity and level of play will really spur them on for the remainder of the regular season.

I don’t know that I’d agree I was our best player.

Just knowing that I’m walking in there, not because of what I’ve done in the past but because they want me to be a part of it. Hearing that, I’m happy to be back.

We obviously played much better. It was a disappointing third period (Saturday) to say the least. We rebounded pretty well.

Playoff hockey is the best way to market your team. It’s the best way to grow your fan base and give hope to your players and for them to develop.

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...

He created a turnover. I think they were just heading up ice, so we caught them going the right way. Danny made a real nice pass over the stick right onto mine. The goalie went...

I don’t know much about the techniques of fighting, but I know throwing a punch on skates is a lot different than throwing a punch from the ground.

I don’t know if I’ve ever had a memorable body check. It’s not really part of my game.

He’s asking a lot of questions, picking everybody’s brain, trying to get a feel for everyone, … He’s very serious, very attentive to the details of each drill we did, stressing a high tempo and...

We were playing collectively, I don’t want to say our best, but very well in all areas of the game.

I look forward to a lot more free time, at least initially, with my wife, Lisa, and our three children.

I’m going to skate again Saturday. I’m not ready to play today. We’ll skate Saturday and determine whether Sunday is a go.

If anything, it shows how good he was because he played probably four or five years less than I did. So, that’s quite an achievement by him than anything I’ve done.

When it gets to this point, it’s just hard to pull the trigger.

It’s obvious that finishing first doesn’t guarantee anything. I don’t think where you finished in the standings is tremendously important in the playoffs.

It was the right thing to do. I would’ve loved to play in the Olympics again, but I believe it’s time for me to step aside. It’s time to let other guys play.

I honestly don’t think I’ve been in a fight in over ten years. And any of the fights that I did participate in, weren’t of any note.

I knew if I wanted to be a general manager, I was going to have to leave to work for another organization.

I felt better than expected, but watching Henrik skate around out there, I’m pretty envious; I’d like to be able to move like that, … He clearly was the best player on the ice.

He’s a bright guy. Known him for a long time, so I’m not surprised at all. I think it’s great for former players to be as involved as they can in the PA, especially a...

Our team’s goal is always to win the Stanley Cup. I don’t want to get too carried away with this regular-season success because we’ve had playoff disappointments the last few years, and I don’t forget...

I tried to get through the first part of camp, that was my concern, and got through it and I was feeling pretty good,

It’s worked out well. We’ve been together for a while and played effectively.
