It's been really slow obviously, but I'm not worried about that. I feel like from where I was a couple months ago, things are a lot better. Just being able to skate and stuff was encouraging. Hopefully the next step doesn't have any hurdles.

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

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

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.

I think as a Canadian hockey player, you go through it in your mind so many times, being able to stand on that blue line and hear your national anthem play and being a gold medal champion, you dream of that. And then to be able to accomplish that and actually win a gold medal and represent your country its an amazing feeling.

I'm most comfortable definitely when I'm on the ice. I love to play. It's something that I just love to do.

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.
