Scott Stevens Time Quotations

Obviously, during the lockout year I had time to think about things. I felt I really didn't have anything to prove. I'd won three Stanley Cups. Life's too short, and I felt it was time to do some of the things I really want to do.

I guess I got greedy after the 3,000. I knew I had the ability to be there and I thought another medal might be in the mix and I didn't run nearly as well. We ran as a pack for about 13 kilometers and then, basically, I just ran out of gas. I ran right out of steam and hung on from that point. My time was about a minute slower then I had run last fall.

I have a couple of kids in high school, and it's time to focus on them. I look forward to spending time with them.

I had enough time to think about it. It's time to move on and look forward to be with my kids who are in school. My health is good; I've always been careful about being in shape.

I guess I've been dragging my feet on this. But I think it was time to let everyone one and let the Devils move on.

This is more than I ever expected. I think this is the first time I ever felt intimidated on this ice surface.
