If I was on a third or fourth line I would probably be in the NHL, because you don't have to produce every night.
In New Jersey, we won in '95, but after that for four years we never had a sniff at it. The next thing you know we went on a run of three Stanley Cup Finals in four years in 2000, 2001 and 2003.
I've never seen anything like it since. Some of the Canada Cups came close, but by then a lot of European players came and played in our league so we were more familiar with them.
When I was young, a little guy, I always played videogames, NHL, and always paid attention to the photo on the box. I always wanted to have my photo there.
Canada is hockey.
Playing 10 years in the NHL, almost 600 games, there's going to be some wear and tear for everybody.
I'm very proud of our NHL players. I think they all handle themselves extremely well and they all work really hard.
None of the boys from my town made it in the N.H.L.
