Hockey is my life, you know. If I do not play hockey, I do not know what I do.

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'm okay. Russian machine never breaks.

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.

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.

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

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