I haven't skated for a year and a half so it was quite tough there.

anyone believer chance change firm giving life microscope mistakes people ridiculed second sit tv
I'm a firm believer in second chances, and if we're going to go through life not giving anyone second chances, what kind of life are we going to have? People make mistakes in life. Unfortunately, I was under the microscope and on TV when my mistake happened, and if I'm going to sit here and keep getting ridiculed about it, how are we ever going to give someone a second chance to become better or to change situations?
anywhere became excited gotten kids nice player stay tough
I can come up here and say that it's been a tough time, ... It's nice that it's gotten over. I've always wanted to stay here in Vancouver. I've never wanted to go anywhere else. This is my home. This is where my kids were born. This is where I became the player that I am right now. I'm really excited that it's done and that I can stay here for awhile.

I took care of my business off the ice. We're going to move forward from there. I want to be the best. To be the best, you have to carry a lot of the weight and a lot of the burden. I'm looking forward to that.
