It was pretty disappointing, obviously. To come out with two periods, in probably our most important game of the season, the way we did ... It's disappointing and disheartening to see the position we've left ourselves in. At the same time, we need to dust ourselves off and come out and play a good game against one of the best teams in the league in Detroit.
More Quotes from Chris Pronger:
You could kind of see after that first game how important he was. Taking the focus off of us and putting it on him, he awakened the team and let us go about our job. It'll be great having him there from a leadership perspective.Chris Pronger
It's one of those things that with that comes excitement and that thrill that you're going to have that opportunity to hold the Cup at the end of the year, and your team is going to do everything possible to try to do that, but within the salary cap framework. I'm sure fans are going to be very, very excited as the seasons go on and the CBA starts to work.

You can look at a number of things with Al. Obviously the accolades -- the Conn Smythe, the Norris Trophy, the Stanley Cup, renowned as the hardest shot in the league. But the leadership in the room. The way he approached the game. The way he carried himself. That was the biggest thing.

Al did such a great job as captain last year. I need to focus and concentrate on helping this team win hockey games. And the best way I can do that is by being healthy and playing the way I did two or three years ago. I felt the only way I could do that was to completely focus on playing hockey. Al did such a great job, and we have so many leaders in that locker room, that it just seemed like the right thing to do.

My understanding, they're going to be calling it the same way. I can't really give you an answer until we really get started to see what they're going to do. But what they say and what they do, we'll find out.
