I’m not trying to be the next Wayne Gretzy or Mario Lemieux. I am putting pressure on myself to do my best and perform to my potential.

In my situation there are often things I need to do for the team, so when I get the chance to relax it’s all I want to do.

I’m most comfortable definitely when I’m on the ice. I love to play. It’s something that I just love to do.

Obviously, you love to score goals. You love to make assists and do things like that. But at the same, at the end of the day, you want to win. That’s how I look at it. If I can help my team by scoring goals and setting up guys, then great.

Individual honors and scoring championships are great, but my No. 1 goal is to win the Stanley Cup.

I want to be the best, so whatever comes with that, I’ll have to accept that.

The more you hesitate in a game, the more your chance of getting hit. Your focus isn’t there. When you hesitate, usually you’re in trouble.
