I always wanted to play professional hockey. Every hockey player's dream, no matter at what level or what age, is to play professionally. At first you don't know what it's all about, but you have that dream and you always work hard toward it. The older you get, the more you start dedicating yourself to the game.

I'm competitive. I'd love another chance to be part of a Stanley Cup championship team. That'd be awesome.

I'm definitely one of the best. Always have been; always will be. I won't accept anything less.

I'm trying to be among the elite night after night, year after year. I just want to be the best ... and I love winning.

When people count me out, that gets me motivated.

I've been real fortunate to be on a lot of great teams.

My whole career I'm used to playing a lot of games.
