When you look at the team that Jimmy Rutherford has put together and the players that he has, this is just a great story of excellent in professional sports.

I don't worry about the integrity of the game. Our players are professionals.

NHL clubs don't like having to shut down at a critical part of the season and disrupt our season for anything, let alone a situation where we're not given an opportunity to promote our presence.

Market size, particularly when you're dealing with major media markets, has an impact in terms of gathering attention.

Through most of my career, I've made a decent living making movies no one wants to see.

If I feel like I've done a great job during an interview with the president of the United States live in the Oval Office, it doesn't give me a tenth of the good feeling of going to the school play and making eye contact with my kids as they're onstage delivering their lines. Nothing compares with that moment of connection.

I never remember having a plan. All I could think about was how I was going to afford to get into college or where I was going to stay because I hated being at home. I didn't really have time to think about anything in the future. I didn't think about a career or anything. I went to uni, got a couple of jobs, so I sort of funded it myself.

The NBA wasn't a big deal at that time, so it wasn't really in my career plans.
