Wow, what an amazing four years it has been.

Tampa, thank you. I came here not knowing what the future would hold and every second of my time here will forever stick in my memory. My wife Francesca, son Anthony and daughter Goldie will always hold this city in a special place in our hearts. You will always be home to us.

To the Lightning organization, Coaches,the trainers and staff, and to all my teammates, thank you. It was an honor to be part of your team and skate alongside each and every one of you.

And most importantly to Bolts Nation….lifting the Cup up with you guys not just once, but twice, will be something I’ll cherish forever. You are some of the best fans in hockey and I’ll be forever grateful to you for welcoming me here. I had a blast. Thank you.

Watch out Minny, the Big Rig is pulling into town!
