Despite not being able to play anymore, Couture is focused on improving his physical condition to engage with his young children, highlighting the emotional struggle of his situation. Couture's contributions to hockey will be remembered, especially his performances in the postseason.
My career of playing hockey has come to an end. I'm not physically able to play anymore. It's tough. It sucks. But it is what it is.
The mental side of it is tough...it's similar to when you lose in the playoffs. It's like you run into a brick wall.
I've come to peace with it the little while we tried everything and it didn't work. The NHL is everything that I thought it would be when I was a kid.
I've got two young kids. So a lot of thoughts were going through my mind.
