Ed Belfour

My whole career I'm used to playing a lot of games.

I have been dealing with back problems since 1995 when I was with the Blackhawks, and I've only missed part of one season because of it. That was last season in Toronto.

When one guy undermines the other, it only causes trouble, and the team isn't successful. It's very important for both of us to accept our role and help the team. One guy can get hot, and if that's Alex, I'll support him and help any way I can.

I think everybody has to be better, right from me out. Everybody has to step up their games for us to be successful here. I've been lucky to be on some good teams over the years and that's what it takes, everybody contributing night after night.

I've been real fortunate to be on a lot of great teams.

I've learned not to be as maniacal as I used to be.

Sometimes I can be misunderstood. I'm really competitive.

Sometimes you can press a little bit and you're trying to do too much and you're trying too hard. You want to win so bad and you want to help the team so badly that you end up trying too much instead of letting the play come to you.

I'm competitive. I'd love another chance to be part of a Stanley Cup championship team. That'd be awesome.

I love proving people wrong.

I just have a lot of respect for Terry and his family. He played without a mask, and his life was tragically ended. And it just means a lot to me to be up there with him and the other greats that have played that long.

It takes two guys on a team to do very well in the end and be successful.
