It's just part of me, playing the puck.
I'd never be a jerk with my teammates because I know I need them to be successful.
I'm just a hockey player. I want to play every day.
I'm a guy that wanted to have fun. When I look back at all the wins I had, I must have had a lot of fun playing the game and made people happy.
