People are going to have their opinions. Whether it’s good or bad, I don’t really think about it either way.
Growing up in Canada, I didn’t watch football much.
Teach your parents well.
It’s not that hard to stay grounded. It’s the way I was brought up.
It seems like yesterday I was up there watching my first NHL game, and I was skating on the ice this time. It brings back memories, but at the same time it’s something I’ll remember forever.
I don’t think you’re human if you don’t get nervous.
There’s no doubt I’m emotional.
I’ll be the first one to admit my first couple of years I was pretty hard on the refs.
The more you hesitate in a game, the more your chance of getting hit. Your focus isn’t there. When you hesitate, usually you’re in trouble.
I don’t have one favourite band. I like everything.
I always wanted to be the best and to get the most out of myself.
I’m most comfortable definitely when I’m on the ice. I love to play. It’s something that I just love to do.
It is so important to me to have my time away from hockey. Obviously, hockey is my passion; I love it. But definitely for me, time away from the rink and time when my mind isn’t thinking about hockey is important.
It’s really football, tennis, and golf that I watch other than hockey.
Breakaway goals are fun.
I want to reward this city. Pittsburgh is a great hockey town.
I am doing what I love to do.
My dad introduced me to the game, gave me a stick. Since then I’ve had a passion for it.
It’s been really slow obviously, but I’m not worried about that. I feel like from where I was a couple months ago, things are a lot better. Just being able to skate and stuff was encouraging. Hopefully the next step doesn’t have any hurdles.
It didn’t feel like it was anything too major, but if you had to look at one hit that would be it.
