games style jason
I'd really like to have my own style of game and be known as Jason Spezza, not a Mario Lemieux or Wayne Gretzky 'clone.'
team thinking guy
If I ever have a chance to become a top-notch guy on a top team, I think that's more valuable than anything else.
cutting player want
I didn't want to be cut, but it made me a better person and a better player.
writing player people
You guys will write what you want to write, people will say what they want to say. I can't control any of that. All I can control is how I play. I'm trying to be the best player I can be.
hype bugs doe
The hype that follows me doesn't bug me. I expect more out of myself than anyone else does, that's for sure.
night games goal
My goal is to be at the top of my game every night.
girlfriend hard-work successful
I was 13 or 14 and I met Donald Trump at a bar mitzvah of a good friend of ours, who's friends with him. He had his girlfriend at the time with him, that Melania with him. He said, 'Hey guys, if you work hard and be successful, you'll get one of these.' I'll never forget that. And now he's married to her.
player winning what-matters
You can't always be the top player, but you can always contribute. I just want to win...that's what matters.
behind stanley trying win worried
That's all behind us. All we're worried about now is trying to win the Stanley Cup.
front knock net saying skates stick
I'm not saying they were highlight-reel goals. He skates pretty well for his size. You stick that in front of the net and you can knock in a few.
good happened longer
I'm not 100%, but I feel good. It's going to be good to get back in there and get playing. It was longer than I expected, I really didn't think when it happened that it was anything that was going to be that serious.
biggest deep marty missed team trade
It's the biggest pick-up after the trade deadline, in my opinion. We've missed him the whole time. We're already a pretty deep team ? when you get Marty back, it's going to be great.
against game hard open
They're like us. If they get the first goal, it's hard for us to come back. They try to play us tight. We have to open the game up against them.
biggest playing stay time
The biggest thing now is to try and stay up all day and getting back in our time zone. But I'll be playing (tomorrow).
