NHL: Feeling of `emptiness' pervades locker room after elimination at hands of Detroit. ANAHEIM - Two days after Detroit abruptly ended Anaheim's season, the Ducks were still in disbelief.
Jonas Hiller "I think there's a lot of emptiness, You're sitting there, (wondering) if that really happened."

It's a lot of emptiness. It's just a weird feeling."

General Manager Bob Murray has a lot on his plate during the off-season, including whether Teemu Selanne, 42, decides to return for a 21st NHL season. After the scoreboard bulbs showing a playoff-eliminating loss were turned off at Honda Center on Sunday, more came to light Tuesday as Ducks players were processed through exit interviews.
Teemu Selanne "I'll be patient, It's about the commitment to training, the dedication. I want to feel, 'Do I really want to start pushing myself again?' If I don't have it, then I don't play."
Teemu Selanne "I have such a good team here now, we know we are better than this, I think everyone felt there is some unfinished business. This team is ready here right now."

Retire or return: Selanne will take time to decide
Teemu Selanne "It's a commitment with training and dedication in the summertime. That's when you have to be ready, Like I said before, the good thing is, I don't have to play. I only play because I want to play. That's the motivation that players dream of. That's why I take some time off. I want to start feeling either way. Do I really want to start pushing myself again? If I don't have it, then I don't play. That's the best way to do it. After like six weeks, I'll start thinking about whether I want to start working out. Your body and your mind start missing it, and then you know what's the right decision. If you don't get that, then it's time to start doing something else."
