“I really don’t feel to much pressure. And the club doesn’t put too much pressure on me. I just know I am supposed to go out there and score every night.”

“I am kind of a quiet leader who leads by example on the ice.”

“I get inside and take a beating to get the garbage goals around the net. As long as I’m rewarded, I love it.”

“I get goosebumps when we come out and hear the fans cheering and the music playing loud.”

“It’s tough being a young guy in this league!”

“I’ve still got a lot of growing to do.”

“The dream is starting to come true…it’s just amazing.”

“I watch guys like Keith Tkachuk and Todd Bertuzzi, Joe Thornton and Jarome Iginla, as much as I can to get an idea of how best to play my role.”
