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

I never look forward. I live for today. If you think about what's going to happen in a year, in two years, then you begin to plan. And plans never come true.

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

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.

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.

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

I played basketball and soccer but they are very different games, obviously. However, playing any kind of sport always helps you develop physically.
