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

I am putting pressure on myself to do my best and perform to my potential.

I want to be the best player possible.

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?

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

I don't think there's ever a time where I step back and say I wish I was something different. I'm doing what I love to do.

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