I also thought I'd get a call when former teammate Bryan Trottier was hired as New York Rangers coach in 2002. The reason was, I remember having umpteen conversations with Bryan, having roomed with him for 10 years, that went, 'One of these days, Mike, we're going to take a team and do it our way.' I've found out since from Bryan who was fired in his first season that he wasn't going to be given that chance.
