My heart will always be with the Boston fans. I hope that everyone who truly loves me will still support me now that I won't be with the Red Sox,

We needed this. Our fans were huge, and we really responded to their support.

Things have changed for me over the past couple of weeks, ... There's a big part of my heart that's missing now with my mother gone. I knew I pitched for her. I just didn't realize how much. You just look at things different.

This place has been very good to our team. A bunch of our fans cannot get tickets in Boston. For them to come down on a weekend and take part in this, that says a lot.

I know what's going on in Boston. I know fans are upset and I'm sorry.

In hockey towns, like Boston is, the true fans are always going to come out. No question about it.
