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?

It's really football, tennis, and golf that I watch other than hockey.

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

It's been really slow obviously, but I'm not worried about that. I feel like from where I was a couple months ago, things are a lot better. Just being able to skate and stuff was encouraging. Hopefully the next step doesn't have any hurdles.

My dad introduced me to the game, gave me a stick. Since then I've had a passion for it.

Growing up in Canada, I didn't watch football much.

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.
