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.

We're going to play our game and we're going to come back and we're going to play Montreal or Tampa.

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

To win the Calder Trophy means a lot. It means a lot. I don't have words. I could tell you in Russian.

My hair was too big. And my head is big, and my hair is big, so my helmet gets too small. So I have to make a haircut.

I saw the rebound and when the puck came to me, I said, oh my God, puck, I must shoot.

I never look forward. I live for today. If you think about what's going to happen in a year, in two years, then you begin to plan. And plans never come true.
