It's up to the community now to decide if they want to keep this team.
This arena is a special place. Everybody loves it. To be able to stand behind the bench and be a part of a great tournament for the '96 Elite is fun. The kids, having a chance to play in the building where the Penguins play, it's a special feeling for them.
For as long as I can remember I wanted to be a professional hockey player.
All I can say to the young players is, enjoy every moment of it. Just enjoy every moment of it. Your career goes by very quickly.
As I've said, in 2007, we're free to go and we'll just have to do what's best for the business.
He's only 4 years old, so I don't think he realized, you know, that I played so many years. Of course, we watch tapes here from the Stanley Cup years, but I don't think he realized how many years I played.
I didn't like the way the game was being played.
I think people in Montreal smoke a lot, and I used to smoke when I was 17-18, and just picked it up when I was playing juniors. But I think I stopped when I was 22, which was a big decision in my life.
I think that with a lot of hard work and dedication, I feel that I could be the best in the world. I'm still only 35 years old... I have a fresh start physically and mentally, and I feel that I can achieve my goal to be the best again.
I'm only 35, and I felt that the time was right to try to come back and have a chance for him to see me play.
Of course, my family has been a big reason for me to come back, especially my son who loves the game of hockey - he was a big reason for me coming back.
Once I'm at the arena with the guys in the dressing room, and in the bus, and on the plane, I'm a player. And I sit in the back with the players and I play cards and try to take their money.
One thing I hate is people screaming at me. If you want me to do something, talk to me.
We feel that, with Sidney, we have a great opportunity over the next few years to put a great team on the ice. We're prepared to lose some money along the way. Eventually we're going to need some help.
Well, I think just a desire to come back and be a part of the game again.
When I'm able to see the ice ahead of time when I get the puck, I'm able to make some pretty good plays.
We, as a league, must do a better job of protecting the integrity of the game and the safety of our players.
It was great to play with some of my old linemates.
If I could play this game at a decent level, I'd come back and play.
When it comes to hockey, it's been in my blood since I was 3 or 4 years old. I love coaching the kids, especially at that level.
