At the end of the day, it is hockey. It's the same game, the rules don't change. It's the same hockey game I've been playing since I was 2 years old. I think you can kind of rely on that.
Quote by -Connor McDavid
You want to be ramping up toward the playoffs. You want to be peaking as you're heading in.
Quote by -Connor McDavid
The OHL compared to the NHL playoffs, I don't think they really compare. You can't really rely on that experience.
Quote by -Connor McDavid
Edmonton has such a great history. It makes coming to the rink special to know those former players wore the jersey and had so much success here.
Quote by -Connor McDavid
I'm sure personal accolades are nice and you appreciate them very much. But it's about winning Cups and winning Olympics and winning World Cups and that kind of thing.
Quote by -Connor McDavid
We owe it to the fans and we owe it to ourselves to give it everything we have to try and put ourselves in the playoffs.
Quote by -Connor McDavid
If you want to do something for the rest of your life, it's not going to be easy, especially being a pro hockey player, so you need to work at it.
Quote by -Connor McDavid
My dad gave me this advice: 'Make what you want to do for the rest of your life the first thing you do in the day and then worry about hanging out with friends.'
Quote by -Connor McDavid
Playing in the OHL, people expect you to get a ton of points. When you go out and have a good game it's almost like people expect that out of you.
Quote by -Connor McDavid
If you're tanking to get a higher draft pick, you really shouldn't be playing hockey.
Quote by -Connor McDavid
There is a lot of instinct that comes with playing hockey and playing a number of games and playing all the way up; you kind of get a feel for what's gonna happen and make plays off that.
Quote by -Connor McDavid
I am never going to be much of a physical presence. For me, it's more about taking my strength and finding a way to use it as an advantage.
Quote by -Connor McDavid
If you're putting the puck in an awkward place for someone, that's right away, advantage: you.
Quote by -Connor McDavid
Every Hockey Canada event, the first day you just do a thousand interviews. You get used to it.
Quote by -Connor McDavid
I think the best players in the world make the players around them better. And I'm always trying to do that.
Quote by -Connor McDavid
I think that's what you need throughout your lineup. You need guys to help each other and feed off each other and to have that chemistry.
Quote by -Connor McDavid
I'm definitely not one of those guys that's chirping the guys that dress super nice, because you know, there's guys out there in the league - and on my team in fact - that have great style. And I'm just like, 'go for it, man, you look good!'
Quote by -Connor McDavid
You can't just go out and buy players and make a super team, because it's so hard to do that. The salary cap doesn't allow it. We have a much smaller salary cap than the NBA, and they only have 12 on a roster.
Quote by -Connor McDavid
I was definitely not the cocky kid. I was probably on the other end of the spectrum - I was quiet. I remember a time when there was a skills competition, and I think I was five, and I was so nervous to even compete that I chose not to do the skating part.
Quote by -Connor McDavid
As a kid I wore my team's tracksuit all the time. Splash pants or track pants. I wore a hat every day. And then when I got to the NHL, guys would make fun of me that I had the worse style in the league.
Quote by -Connor McDavid
Obviously I get paid to score and create chances, and that's what I have to do. But just at the same time, I have to be able to be responsible defensively, good on face-offs, all the little things that coaches love and that win games.
Quote by -Connor McDavid
He's Bobby Orr - he's been through it all. Whatever he says, you listen. If you ask a question, you're dying to hear the answer, trying to figure out any piece of information that made him successful.
Quote by -Connor McDavid
You've got to work hard, got to outwork the other guy and got to outwork the other team. Sometimes outsmart them every now and then, but it all starts with the work.
Quote by -Connor McDavid
Guys that have the best shot in the world still shoot pucks, and that's for a reason. You keep growing your game and finding different ways to produce.
Quote by -Connor McDavid
Whenever you trade away a key piece of your organization, somebody who's been there for a long time, it has to change everything.
Quote by -Connor McDavid
It's insane to really think about, someone is going to pay me $100 million to do what I would do anyway on a regular day; it's insane.
Quote by -Connor McDavid
It's always tough when you're off the ice for a while when you've got to come back because you can't replicate the type of cardio that you need to play hockey and you can't really replicate skating at all. You can run as many stairs, or bike as many whatever on your spin bike as you want, but you can't replicate it at all.
Quote by -Connor McDavid
After going through the playoffs, you definitely get a sense for how important it is to go through it at least once before you win.
