Right now I'm scoring goals and I'm the king of the world. And a couple weeks ago I was almost in the toilet. So maybe you just forget to flush me.

Everybody is jumping up and down back in Russia. Probably lots of vodka, too.

I don't care what people say about me and what they think about me. I care about my team and I care about myself. Lots of people watch hockey, and I think everybody has different thinking.

My weapon isn't my shot. It's me.

Sometimes I want to joke but my English isn't perfect. Sometimes people are wondering what I'm talking about.

If you go to ice and you think, 'I must score' or 'I must get some points,' you won't score or get any points. You must go and play and don't think about it.

My dream has come true. I play with the great players and on a great team. I'm smiling and happy and enjoying the time of my life.
