You never know how a single interaction with a person might affect their life, so you must constantly try to be at your best.

I don't spend a lot of time here in New York. I didn't realize there were so many Bruins fans in New York.

Once you turn pro and you're making the big money and kids are buying your sneakers and your skates and your gloves and so on, you are a member of that role model club.

Growing up, if I hadn't had sports, I don't know where I'd be. God only knows what street corners I'd have been standing on and God only knows what I'd have been doing, but instead I played hockey and went to school and stayed out of trouble.

I never looked at hockey as work. Now that I'd finished playing, I had to go to work.

My Dad was my biggest supporter. He never put pressure on me.

There are no environments where you're only going to win, because life just isn't like that.
