I couldn't wait to get on the ice. I couldn't wait to get to practice. As a kid, I couldn't wait to shoot pucks or play in parking lots, or play on the river or play on the bay.

The kids wait for it to be organized. They want to go play all of these tournaments, for a little practice time. I learned my skills by dropping the puck just with the kids. I think that's missing today.

I was the happiest guy in the world when I was on the ice. You're being paid to play a game! That's pretty special.

I was an offensive defenseman. I was up the ice as much as I was back.

Sidney Crosby, our greatest player, I don't want to see Sidney Crosby in the penalty box. I don't want to see Sidney Crosby hurt. I want to see Sidney Crosby play.

If they want to make us park [in the stadium lots], then they should make the parking affordable. But this is really the right time to do this. Strategically, this is a good move because the team is getting better, and more fans might be showing up.
