I've always had a passion for hockey, ... That's the key. You can't be putting in time. You have to enjoy doing what you do.

I have been practising since I was 4 or 5 years old, but that wasn't really practice. I was just having fun.... I just loved to play hockey.

Whether youre trying to learn in hockey or trying to learn in life, Ive always tried to be observant and tried to learn more, tried to evolve, whether its as a hockey player or as a person. With each year, I try to do that.

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

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

Teach your parents well.

Challenging someone is good. You need to do it. Sometimes they don't even realize you're doing it, like when you joke with a goalie, 'What's wrong today? You losing it?
