I often have said to people that there are really two cities in the country where the outlook is always forward-looking - there is never really a backward-looking tendency.

It's an honor to put on the Habs uniform and hopefully have the opportunity to play here a lot longer now. Now I can just focus on the goal of winning a Stanley Cup and I don't have to worry about re-signing every other year, so I'm looking forward to working towards our goal.

My song are more about the practical message of not wearing ourselves out just to get rich and looking at what life is really about and enjoying each and every day as opposed to the opposite of that.
