I don't think you're human if you don't get nervous.

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.

I need to work on defensive play and being consistent.

I've always had a passion for hockey, ... That's the key. You can't be putting in time. You have to enjoy doing what you do.

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

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.

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