It's kind of ironic when I broke in at 17, I was told I was too small, too slow and I wouldn't make the NHL

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

The biggest difference between L.A. and Edmonton was that instead of people looking at me I was looking at them.

One hundred percent of shots not taken don't go in.

Look at guys like Larry Bird and George Brett and John McEnroe; that's what they did in their careers. They all wanted to be the guy under the microscope late in the game or late in the match. So you just take on that know-how that that's part of your responsibility, and you learn that's what makes it exciting. That's what makes it fun!

Nothing can replace the Olympics. I love the Olympics. I was so proud when I played in '98 and I was so proud when we won in 2002.

A good hockey player plays where the puck is. A great hockey player plays where the puck is going to be.
