To me, it doesn't matter if I have a 'C' or not. If the team is going to do good, I'm going to get a bigger reward than other guys on the team. But if the team's going to do bad, I'm going to be blamedâ€¦ Everyone leads differently. There's not going to be another Mark Messier. I had the 'C' in Pittsburgh for five years and I had no problem with that. But it's kind of different now.
