Ranger fans, they're expecting you to win, so you really want to show up every day.
Boating on the lake is one of my favorite summer activities.
I think I always just want to get better at whatever I'm doing... Always strive for excellence.
Growing up in Europe, tight clothing is pretty standard. When I got to college, clothes were loose, so I was going toward more loose stuff. As soon as I got back to New York, I started wearing suits 25% of the year. Then, I realized how important it is for the suit to really fit you and be tight.
Since we travel a lot as a team, I spend a lot of time on a plane where I like to play 'Football Manager.' I have been a soccer fan since I was 5 years old, so to be able to manage soccer teams is a lot of fun.
'Superbad' and 'Remember the Titans' - two movies I can watch over and over again. I watch 'Superbad' whenever I need to laugh.
When I'm in the city, I like to go to different events and get introduced to different people. That's what New York is all about. There is great diversity, and there are people from all over the world who have done amazing things. That's my favorite thing to do: meet new people.
You want to play in every game, and you especially don't want to be in the penalty box for five minutes and give the other team a chance to get a power play, and you don't want to hurt anyone on the other team.
There are guys out there faster than me.
I never want to hurt anyone on the ice. That's not the type of player I am.
I like to wear tight jeans. Most of my stuff is pretty slim fit.
I think I always just want to get better at whatever Im doing... Always strive for excellence.
I had more friends on my hockey team than I did on my soccer team. I might have been better at soccer, to be honest. But I think it was more the friendship, and my family was more of a hockey family than a soccer family, so when I had to make a decision, I tried hockey, and it turned out to be a good decision.
Hair wax is my go-to. When it comes to shampoo, I use whatever is at the rink.
