I can't repeat that in the paper. You've got to let him know you can't let him run around like that. I just told him, we play them one more time.

He asked me to fight ... he came after me and dropped his gloves.

I'd definitely be disciplined if the roles were changed around. I'd have got a five-game suspension.

But this is the second one we've had - a group of drunken Scotsmen stole the last one!

Everybody saw it. You want to talk to the referee about a call he makes and you can't even go near the guy ... Even the captains and the assistant captains weren't able to say anything because he wasn't willing to listen. Everybody was frustrated.

He was afraid I was going to do something to him or something.

We were only up 3-2 at the time. He didn't set a good precedent for his teammates. He's one of their skill players, a leader in that dressing room, and taking a penalty like that, it puts them behind the 8-ball. You don't see a guy like Daniel Alfredsson doing that, you know - that's a good leader.

We went on the power play.

It'd be a good feeling. You've got to have that killer instinct to put a team out when you have them down.
