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

Breakaway goals are fun.

The more you hesitate in a game, the more your chance of getting hit. Your focus isn't there. When you hesitate, usually you're in trouble.

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

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.

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?

I try to stay pretty level-headed and just do what I have to do.
