Obviously, it helps you feel little bit better because you want to help the team and do the things you're capable of doing. But obviously you want to get more wins. Right now my focus is on trying to do the right things.

It hasn't been easy what he's had to do. The team's losing more and he's trying to keep the team in Pittsburgh. It's got to wear on you after a while.

Pittsburgh has been down for the past couple years, but we'd like to get back in it. Philly has been tremendous and we want to get to that level. It's exciting for the fans when you see each other more times per year. We hope to build more rivalries.

I enjoy it here, my family's here, but I really don't know what's going to happen. If they came to me and said they really needed to make this deal, it would be something I would have to think about.

He's a very intelligent hockey player, No. 1, that's his biggest thing. He made people better around him. He had a terrific competitive edge to him that kept him playing for a long time.
accolades easy great guy sponge trying
He's a sponge right now. He's just trying to take everything in, and that's unbelievable for a young guy that's had all the accolades he's had up to this point. It'd be pretty easy for him to go the other way, but he's not. He's such a great kid.
people
He's going to do some things that, obviously, some people can't do.

He's going to be all right. He's pretty smooth out there. It's fun to watch him. His first couple of steps are incredible.
