What the Sharks did, it shocked the heck out of me. We've always been rivals, but I think they know how much I love this game, and how much I've given to it.

I've seen this goalie a couple of times, and I knew he'd come out quick. I just took my time instead of going too fast. I knew on him I would rather take my time and give myself an extra option.

It was the second time we've done it. Most of the guys ended up playing with their kids in the back yard, or they took naps.

I've been getting more and more ice time and more chances. Therefore, sooner or later, a puck is going to go in.

(Equipment manager) Peter Millar and I decided to do that so I could make sure all the people who have been involved and all my friends and family can get a little piece of this. I brought about 30 sticks. I told Torch he's going to have to play me a lot so I don't have to change sticks on the fly.

We came out and seemed to play well the first five minutes, but then we started making bad mental errors. We got caught making some stupid, stupid mistakes. And it cost us dearly, because this was a game we had to win.
beat coming emotions expect guys hard systems wanting
I expect us to come out and play hard and play with a lot of emotion. You can tell that guys are hungry. At this point, it's not about systems or anything else. It's just about coming out and wanting to beat the opponent, and I expect us to come out that way.

I have had an incredible journey playing the game I love and my decision to retire has been a very difficult one for me.

Selling L.A. is going to be easy. Phil (Anschutz, the Kings' co-owner) should offer the young guys a movie role.
