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.

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

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 think I must play how I can, that's all. And if I play my best I'll be happy. It doesn't matter because NHL is the best league in the world and we have great players so whoever the coach puts me with is the best. The coach knows best.

I'm okay. Russian machine never breaks.

I saw the rebound and when the puck came to me, I said, oh my God, puck, I must shoot.

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