It takes brains. It's not like a forward, where you can get away with scoring and not play defense. On defense you have to be thinking.

So here I am running at guys who aren't taller than 5-foot-8, and I'm the one who tears up his knee.

Guys like him ruin it for everybody else. It's just embarrassing. Or maybe he's not embarrassed because he probably believes he's not doing it-that's how liars are.

I'm 100 percent sure this is it. I know that I'll never play in the NHL again. It's not a hard decision. I think the hardest thing is you get a little emotional talking about your family. I couldn't have played any longer than I did and I accomplished what I wanted to.

When no one else signs me.
