I don't even know what the odds are for one kid or one team to make it here. Obviously, being from Canada this is their Stanley Cup - they made it. It's hard enough to get here and it's hard enough to advance.

It's obviously disappointing and surreal when you see someone else win the Stanley Cup.

And people who know me would tell you that away from hockey I'm really not that competitive.

Coming to another hockey Mecca like Toronto makes you a better coach. I want to have fun again. I want to make it fun for everybody, and it's fun when you win.

I think to compare any time you win a Stanley Cup would be unfair to all the players from all the teams.

As a kid, you dream of winning the Stanley Cup. As you get older, you understand the importance of winning the Olympics.

I think the big thing is you really have one chance to do this... to play hockey for a living, you have one chance at your career, and you have to take full advantage of it.

Maybe playing in the NHL would be pretty nice, but that's more of a pipe dream for me.

All the people that come out and show their support and their pride for your accomplishments, I think it really reminds you that without people you don't ever to get to live that dream. To play in the NHL is one thing, but to win the Stanley Cup and come back and share it with everyone is another thing.

I hope I can compete in one or two Olympics in my career. Of course I would like to win a medal, but just being there would be awesome.
