It's not that hard to stay grounded. It's the way I was brought up.

I want to reward this city. Pittsburgh is a great hockey town.

I want to be the best. So whatever comes with that, I have to accept it.

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.

For every whack I've given, I've gotten four or five.

I am doing what I love to do.

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?
