Hockey is a unique sport in the sense that you need each and every guy helping each other and pulling in the same direction to be successful.

I think that from the time you start playing sports as a child you see that your responsibility to your team is to play the best that you can play as an individual... and yet, not take anything away from being part of a team.

Most players go where the puck is. I go where the puck will be.

It's an honour and a thrill and a privilege just to play in the NHL.

Hockey is my life. I love every minute of it.

It's really hard. And it's harder today because of the salary cap. It starts in September at training camp - getting every guy on the same page, being as mentally and physically as focused as you can be. Then in April and May, you basically spend eight weeks practising, watching video and playing games. That's your life.

No matter who you are, we're creatures of habit. The better your habits are, the better they will be in pressure situations.
