I'm a guy who works very hard and if I want something bad enough, I'm going to do anything possible to get it.

I don't see this as Marty [St. Louis] replacing me. I see this as Marty getting the opportunity he deserves.

Staying away from junk food and the pops-it's something that, for me, is harder than doing the actual workouts. It's so easy to get off-track. Like when you're out with your buddies and they're stopping at McDonald's. You can't have a Big Mac with them.

Knowing your coach has confidence in you is big for a young player.

My parents, especially my dad, had a big influence on my hockey career. He introduced me to the game when I was younger, and I stuck with it.

I came into the League at 18-years-old. I didn't have a lot of experience in training the right way. I probably came into the league at 175 pounds; now I'm 190 ... It's all about training the right way and training for my needs.

It was a tough. Sixteen games into my career, we had a coaching change. It was something I never experienced before, and something I had to go through a lot earlier in my career than I expected.

Were better than were executing, theres no sense in pouting right now. We have to find a way to win.

You know what ? We've played in some pretty special buildings along this playoff run so far, you start in Detroit, you go to Montreal, you come here( to Madison Square Garden on Friday).

That was totally not acceptable, especially at this time of the year, listen, people are going to be watching this game tonight and probably think the series is over. But our group, we’re a very resilient group.

I obviously was a little disappointed in myself for taking the penalty. ... It’s easy to say now, but, for some reason, I wasn’t as rattled as I usually am in those situations, i was just confident in our group that we would find a way, whether it was in regulation or was in overtime. We deserved to win the game. That was the feeling we had from puck drop.

It's going to be tough to get out of the moment and look back and realize what a special group we have here because there’s still some games to be played, you’re still not at the end of our goal, but, in saying that, this group is pretty amazing and pretty special.

Whoever had Tampa Bay Lightning money line down 6-3, he’s probably pretty happy right, i don’t know how to explain that one. That was a weird game.

Obviously, he’s mad about you know the borderline hit there, but there’s different ways to go about it, you can grab a guy and then punch him in the face. But it’s just an unsuspecting guy, it’s a sucker punch.

It’s been amazing to watch and obviously be a part of. This city is very deserving of that. We have very loyal fan bases and it’s a great sports town, at the end of the day we’re all sports fans. I grew up playing all those sports as a kid. You kind of dream that you could be a professional athlete in a different sport too.
