I think that when you are in the limelight it is part of your obligation to be a good role model. A lot of kids look up to you, and you are given a God-given talent, so it is your responsibility. It isn't hard to deal with. I never have to think twice about doing anything.

A happy player is a good player, I think.

I'm usually a patient guy anyway.

No matter how many years you play, it's always something new and exciting. It's sports, you never know what may happen.

Any time you're mentioned in the same breath as Tony Esposito, for whatever reason, it's a great honor. He's one of my idols. He's one of the greatest of all time.

I'm so busy right now, it's the beginning of the hockey season for my kids.

I love my hockey, but if you can do that and go home and just be a dad and husband, then you have the best of both worlds.
