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.

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

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.

Hockey is my life and money is money. If you think about money, you stop playing hockey.

I always look forward to playing in Toronto because it's such a historic city when it comes to hockey.

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

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