Everybody is jumping up and down back in Russia. Probably lots of vodka, too.

I'm looking forward to playing against Sidney Crosby as much as I am looking forward to playing against all of the other players in the NHL. And there is no rivalry.

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

Nobody ever tells me to give them a pass or anything. My job is to score goals, and if I don't shoot the puck, I can't score goals.

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

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

The NHL is the best in the world, it has the best players. I love the NHL.
