People are going to have their opinions. Whether it's good or bad, I don't really think about it either way.
For me, I've learned that the best thing is to focus on the team you play for and yourself and what you need to do.
I am putting pressure on myself to do my best and perform to my potential.
I'd never complain about the attention - ever. I feel very fortunate to be doing what I love to do. Not everyone gets that chance every day. This is just part of it, and it comes down to managing my time to make sure I concentrate on my passion, which is the hockey, and have time away from hockey.
It's tough, it's not the scenario that we wanted for sure. I thought our desperation was there, we worked hard, but it was one game, a lot can happen, they're a good team, and unfortunately we didn't win. We had some bad bounces, and in one game those make a big difference, and unfortunately it didn't go our way. But if we play hard like that, we play desperate like that and control the puck the way we did down low, I like our chances against any team.
I am doing what I love to do.
I have been practising since I was 4 or 5 years old, but that wasn't really practice. I was just having fun.... I just loved to play hockey.
The best way for me to lead is through my game.
Love isn't lying, it's loose in a lady who lingers, saying she is lost, and choking on hello.
Individual honors and scoring championships are great, but my No. 1 goal is to win the Stanley Cup.
I try to stay pretty level-headed and just do what I have to do.
When I saw that goal, the first thing I said was, 'You won't see a goal like that ever again.' It's one thing to have second effort but, on top of that, the athleticism he showed. It's just an example of the talent that he has.
I've always had a passion for hockey, ... That's the key. You can't be putting in time. You have to enjoy doing what you do.
Wouldn’t it be amazing, getting up everyday and playing; doing something that you love to do?
