People judge you by the way you play in the playoffs.

In the K.H.L., you're even more patient at your position because the rink is so big, you cannot play that way.

My goal was to play in the NHL, because that is the best hockey in the world.

If you want to win the hockey games you have to make sure you score on the power play and make sure they don't score on the power play. We knew special teams were gonna be huge.

We have a lot of rookies in the lineup. More than anybody, I would say. Its going to be something new for them. They have to understand that it's totally different hockey in the playoffs. Starting with the fans, the intensity of the game, every mistake counts.

Don't forget, I'm 39. I didn't come here just for the money to impress myself. I'm not saying I am going to be dominating. I'm not saying I'm going to be good. But I can promise you I will do all the right things to play.
