I think every season you try to do things that are going to improve you.

You're going to be the goat and you have to learn to accept it. When you're the hero, you're going to have to learn to deal with that too.

I had a long talk with Ken Dryden just about life. It's pretty cool to be able to talk with somebody you've idolized your whole life.

I don't even go to the grocery store anymore. I hardly do anything anymore. I'm like a hobbit in a hole. I just don't do anything anymore.

That's one thing I miss, just being anonymous.

Obviously, in the playoffs you play through things, and that's what I wanted to do. But there's also the reality that no matter how bad you want to play and how bad you want to get in there, there's also a question of how effective you are going to be.

It's part of the game, there's a lot of trash talking going on. It's all part of it, they try to get you off your game.

I'm a pretty big fella and I can handle myself.

Sometimes pucks just don't hit you.

It's the NHL playoffs, I'm 20 years old, I'm finding it out the hard way that playoffs aren't easy.
