"My favorite thing to do in my life is to play hockey.” 

“I am a very emotional player and you see that when I score goals. I am a forward. I have to score goals.” 

“I’m just a very excitable player. I love playing hockey. I love scoring goals.” 

“I don’t care about (being a star). The most important thing for me now is just do my job.” 

“My teammates look to me for some leadership. I have to play not just for myself. I have to be one of the leaders on this team so I have to play hard every night.” 

“Our goal is to make the playoffs. That is what we are playing for. That is my first goal."

“I want to keep growing. I should take a couple steps every year if I want to be one of the best players in the league.”
