25 years later, you know, I haven't really put too much emphasis on any kind of individual goal, other than trying to win any particular night, trying to find a way to do that.

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 now what you're seeing is guys that are in the peaks of their careers anywhere from 27 to 35 years old, seems to be when they play their best hockey.

It's a tough game, and you never want to take that aspect out of the game.

Obviously every one of them was special to that particular team, all the people that were involved with it.

I think the thing you always got to keep in mind, you know, hockey is a game of one-on-one battles.

I never was brought into the league thinking as far as, you know, statistics, things like that. We were really brought into the league in a team concept. Everything was focused around winning.

Coaching really is an individual philosophy.

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

My jersey hanging from the ceiling is going to be a symbol of the hard work of the people I played with.
