I have a lot of respect for Ovechkin as a player. I like his enthusiasm. I know the kid has a zest for life and a joy for the game.

My weapon isn't my shot. It's me.

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

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.

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.

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

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