The more you hesitate in a game, the more your chance of getting hit. Your focus isn't there. When you hesitate, usually you're in trouble.

For every whack I've given, I've gotten four or five.

I try to stay pretty level-headed and just do what I have to do.

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

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

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.

I need to work on defensive play and being consistent.
