Mario and I were happy to be part of the process, and everyone seemed to work very hard together,

We've got a lot of work ahead of us. We've got to win over a lot of people, ... But in time we hope we will. It's a great sports city. It's a wonderful city, a beautiful building. If we play hard, people are going to start supporting us more and more every day.

It's not going to be easy every day, but I'm going to work hard, and our players are going to work hard, ... I look forward to this as a new chapter in my life, and I can't wait to get started.

The highest compliment that you can pay me is to say that I work hard every day, that I never dog it.

I couldn't beat people with my strength; I don't have a hard shot; I'm not the quickest skater in the league. My eyes and my mind have to do most of the work.

I'm very proud of our NHL players. I think they all handle themselves extremely well and they all work really hard.
