It's definitely nice to see two of my teammates along with me in the starting lineup, ... It's something we're really excited about. ... When you see three guys on the same team at the All-Star game, it's pretty amazing.
It's definitely a great day for Devils' fans and the organization and Scotty being the first and building some history with the organization. It's well deserved. Seeing what the Rangers are doing all the time, when you look at what our captain did, it's a little more impressive as far as numbers with winning three Stanley Cups and getting to the Finals four times.
That's a pretty great accomplishment, I'm pretty excited about it. Now I've got three more guys in front me. Definitely, it's a goal of mine to try to get as high as I possibly can. Being in New Jersey helps me a great deal.
It went our way for three games. It could go the other way for three games, also.
To me, he was always a safety valve, knowing that I had one of the best competitors in the game in front of me. To be the captain of three Stanley Cup teams, you don't do that by chance. It's because you've done something great in your career.
Everything was chaotic. A lot of things were up in the air. There were a lot of rumors here and there. It kind of took two or three weeks to settle our heads, and when the New Year turned, that's when this team turned around and made it happen to make the playoffs.
We're going to face one of the top three teams, each first in their division, regardless of where you're at. The odds are if we finish sixth, the Rangers will be our first opponent, so that would be pretty exciting. Knowing what the other teams are, Ottawa and Carolina, I don't think there's one you want to pick over the other.
I'm sure it's not where everybody thought we'd be. Hopefully, the suicide game will be good for us. A lot of times it brings out the best in players. We need these players to step up and get us through the next game.
Everybody is pressing a little too much and we're not letting the play come to us. We're trying to make the play before it happens.
It was kind of a fluke goal on Satan, losing the puck like that. It confused him and confused me a lot.
These teams were ready for us. Nobody wanted to give us a break. All tournament long, it didn't matter what team we play, they give us their A game. It's really disappointing.
I'm real happy, very excited. It's a great opportunity for me to end my career here and stay close to my kids. That was my huge concern going forward with the new league.
I'm not worried about it too much. We'll see how everything goes. They have the option of keeping me or redoing the deal with me. I'm probably going to wait until they do something.
I'm not worried about it. It's not something I need to have right now.
