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

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

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.

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

I look at it as a challenge, ... I'm not going to put too much added pressure on myself. I want to play in the NHL, and after that [happens], I can worry about things beyond that.

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 need to work on defensive play and being consistent.
