'Superbad' and 'Remember the Titans' - two movies I can watch over and over again. I watch 'Superbad' whenever I need to laugh.
I love to play tennis. I play a lot in the summer. I'm not a big golfer; I need something a bit more intense.
Boating on the lake is one of my favorite summer activities.
As a kid, I was so short, it was tough for me to keep up with the taller guys. I always had quick feet, but I just didn't have any power, really, as a kid.
Ranger fans, they're expecting you to win, so you really want to show up every day.
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.
There's always pressure playing in the NHL. You want to play your best game every game. Expectations are always gonna be there; it's just important that you know how to handle expectations.
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.
