Dreams are so important. You need to have big goals and expect a lot of yourself but you have to enjoy the ride too.
I promise to play for the logo on the front, not the name on the back.
Whether youre trying to learn in hockey or trying to learn in life, Ive always tried to be observant and tried to learn more, tried to evolve, whether its as a hockey player or as a person. With each year, I try to do that.
I don’t think there’s ever a time where I step back and say I wish I was something different. I’m doing what I love 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.
Wouldn’t it be amazing, getting up everyday and playing; doing something that you love to do?
Fear is the lock and laughter the key to your heart.
I try to stay pretty level-headed and just do what I have to do.
Love isn’t lying, it’s loose in a lady who lingers, saying she is lost, and choking on hello.
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.
Individual honors and scoring championships are great, but my No. 1 goal is to win the Stanley Cup.
I want to be the best. So whatever comes with that, I have to accept it.
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.
I want to be the best player possible.
The best way for me to lead is through my game.
I need to work on defensive play and being consistent.
I am putting pressure on myself to do my best and perform to my potential.
Chestnut brown canary, ruby throated sparrow, sing a song, don’t be long, thrill me to the marrow.
For every whack I’ve given, I’ve gotten four or five.
