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

You always really have to remain consistent in your beliefs and philosophy.

As a captain, I think it's important that the players really know who you are and what you stand for, what your beliefs are, and to be consistent in those if things are going good or things are going bad.

I've never really spent a lot of time thinking about my individual accomplishments actually.

Well, my transition into being a captain was easy.

But I just think as a captain, everybody's different.

The only pressure I'm under is the pressure I've put on myself.
