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.

I always look forward to playing in Toronto because it's such a historic city when it comes to hockey.

A championship team wins because it already has established players, while a talented team is just beginning to establish players.

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

Olympics are probably the most important thing for Russians than any other athletes in the whole world. Since I was a little kid and since everybody was a little kid, their dream was playing in Olympic Games, especially if we have a chance to represent our country in Sochi, it's unbelievable and it's going to be a great thing.

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.

I played basketball and soccer but they are very different games, obviously. However, playing any kind of sport always helps you develop physically.
