On being the only player scheduled to play Saturday’s exhibition game after also playing Thursday, and how his hip is holding up: “It was good. I want to play as many as I can this training camp with the hip surgery to get back and get the feel of playing again. Everything felt pretty good last night.”

On being captain: “It’s great. It’s always an honor to be able to do that. I had some time with it here years ago and enjoyed that. I learned some more from the guys in Colorado on some great teams I played on there. Hopefully I can bring some of that experience back here to probably a younger team than I’ve ever played on.”
