When people count me out, that gets me motivated.

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

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.

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

Sometimes I can be misunderstood. I'm really competitive.

I think everybody has to be better, right from me out. Everybody has to step up their games for us to be successful here. I've been lucky to be on some good teams over the years and that's what it takes, everybody contributing night after night.

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.
