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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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