Anytime you go to the All-Star Game, you recognize that it's special. It's an experience that you don't want to pass up.

I think anytime you experience the All-Star Games, the World Cups, the Olympics and all those things - those are great experiences, and those don't come along that often.

Cheer the players. They are ones getting it done. They are ones blocking shots, making saves and scoring goals.

Joining the Islander family and living on the Island has been special.

I have that look like I'm going to tear your head off. As a younger guy, I think I had that look even more and had a reputation for being in your face a lot, but as I've gotten older I think I've filtered some of that out.
