I didn't speak English until I came to Pittsburgh.
I didn't like the way the game was being played.
I can no longer play at a level I was accustomed to in the past.
He's only 4 years old, so I don't think he realized, you know, that I played so many years. Of course, we watch tapes here from the Stanley Cup years, but I don't think he realized how many years I played.
Everybody I talked to - from my friends to my family and some of the players - really gave me a lot of support from the start. And that certainly made me feel good about trying to come back and be one of the best again.
Depending on how we start the season, I can play center or wing... It doesn't matter to me.
As I've said, in 2007, we're free to go and we'll just have to do what's best for the business.
All I can say to the young players is, enjoy every moment of it. Just enjoy every moment of it. Your career goes by very quickly.
I've gone through back surgery a couple times, and of course, my radiation treatments for six weeks got me to the point where I was not able to play at the level that I was accustomed to.
