I try to stay pretty level-headed and just do what I have 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.
It's not that hard to stay grounded. It's the way I was brought up.
I am putting pressure on myself to do my best and perform to my potential.
I always wanted to be the best and to get the most out of myself.
For every whack I've given, I've gotten four or five.
