The best way for me to lead is through my game.

I think that everyone has an equal right to play and I think we've been supportive of that. With the Olympics and the controversy around that I think those decisions and those laws aren't necessarily something that I agree with personally ... their laws and their views.

Love isn't lying, it's loose in a lady who lingers, saying she is lost, and choking on hello.

I'll be the first one to admit my first couple of years I was pretty hard on the refs.

Individual honors and scoring championships are great, but my No. 1 goal is to win the Stanley Cup.

The biggest thing for me is the passion that I've always had for hockey. I remember growing up, no matter what I did in life, my parents always told me to try to do my best at it and be my best. I can say going through different things that passion is the most important part. It's not skills or talent or any of that stuff.

People are going to have their opinions. Whether it's good or bad, I don't really think about it either way.
