It's more frustrating. My expectation probably wasn't that I'd play [during the playoffs], but I was just trying to make sure that if there was any chance that it was possible to come back that I was ready and that I'd done everything I could to be ready. It's frustrating, disappointing. But can't really control any of that.

Wouldn’t it be amazing, getting up everyday and playing; doing something that you love to do?

Teach your parents well.

I want to be the best player possible.

I'm most comfortable definitely when I'm on the ice. I love to play. It's something that I just love to do.

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

It is so important to me to have my time away from hockey. Obviously, hockey is my passion; I love it. But definitely for me, time away from the rink and time when my mind isn't thinking about hockey is important.
