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

It's always discouraging when you don't have things go your way. They are frustrated just like the rest of us.

I take it upon myself to get motivated. I know when I have a bad game. It's something I think about myself when it happens, and I don't need someone to tell me I didn't do this or didn't do that.

I have been dealing with back problems since 1995 when I was with the Blackhawks, and I've only missed part of one season because of it. That was last season in Toronto.

Sometimes you can press a little bit and you're trying to do too much and you're trying too hard. You want to win so bad and you want to help the team so badly that you end up trying too much instead of letting the play come to you.

There's an old saying that when it gets tough the tough get going. You have to work your way through these things.

I simply don't accept losing well. I just feel whatever it takes to win, you have to do it.
