Whether youre trying to learn in hockey or trying to learn in life, Ive always tried to be observant and tried to learn more, tried to evolve, whether its as a hockey player or as a person. With each year, I try to do that.

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

Individual honors and scoring championships are great, but my No. 1 goal is to win the Stanley Cup.

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

For me, I've learned that the best thing is to focus on the team you play for and yourself and what you need to do.

I don't have one favourite band. I like everything.

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.
