My style is unique and it's my own. I do not try to copy or imitate anybody.

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

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.

In North America ice was smaller because in Russia we have big ice and this is small ice and it's a more physical game. Russia has more technicals and this has more speed and is a more physical game.

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

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

I play better left wing. I prefer left, but I can play center or right.
