When you come to a new team, new world, new people, you feel a little bit uncomfortable. But my teammates, they are tremendous guys.

There will always be critics. On one hand, criticism can be positive. On the other hand, criticism can be negative. But critics will always be watching the game. If you listen to everybody, you can go crazy. I have my own point of view, and I always try to keep it.

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.

It is good when you score lots of goals, but it is hard.

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

Maybe's he's just jealous I have hair.
