"I can't thank the Penguins enough for giving me this opportunity, and ... I haven't had this much fun playing hockey in a long time. This is just an incredible feeling -- it's why we love this game so much."

Oh, I’m totally seeing it from his perspective — sorry if that wasn’t clear. I’m sincerely happy for him, and happy it worked out.
He did just about everything that he was asked as captain. Didn’t handle the end/youth movement as well as possible, but he didn’t whine about it in the press — and I think he just had that long-in-the-tooth realization that he didn’t want to go out this way.
The only person I was happier to see raise the Cup tonight was Mario Lemieux — who I’d not thought about.
Congrats, man. What a night for you guys.
