Everyone's going to have an opinion on the way I play the game, or things I've done.

Those split-second decisions that you can't take back, that's what I need to continue to improve.

I guess if the president of the United States gives you a nickname, you have to stick with it.

I had to play a certain style to get in the league, but now I want to be a player that stays in the league a long time, and you have to change your game and adapt.

I think when I was younger, I knew I was either going to get a penalty or score a goal. It was a gamble. But it benefited me.

There's very few guys that play for one team their whole careers, nowadays, especially in the cap era it's a lot tougher.

For me, when I came in, I was always worried about making the other guys happy and giving them the puck and almost giving them a little too much respect. It can take away from your game a little bit.

I'm in the NHL and I'll take whatever reputation I can to get here and to stay here.

We want to be better players than we do a pest, but you have to find something to do coming into the League.

Obviously a little easier playing at home.

You have to be able to win on the road if you want to win in the playoffs.

When you're able to rely on four lines and every D and both goalies, it's big.

I've always enjoyed the emotion of being out there in the last minute of a game or the last couple minutes down by a goal. I think a lot of guys tend to thrive in that situation and I prefer to be out there.

I mean, that's playoff hockey. You're not going to dominate every game, you're not going to score every goal.

I feel very fortunate.

I think playing with great players and great teams, I've been given opportunities to succeed.

If we have to battle through some adversity during the year, sometimes that can be the best thing for a team.

When you react to things, that's when you get into trouble and it's tough to completely control a split-second reaction.

Especially young guys, it's always fun to see young guys come in and have that same enthusiasm about playing a certain way and fitting into a certain role and going after guys, trying to get them off their game.

That's what you need to win a Cup and go far in the playoffs, you need every guy to be accountable in all areas of the ice.

There's not a whole lot that fazes me at all.

I've always been a pretty easy going guy.

Every guy that I've talked to would love to have that opportunity to go, and I don't think there's one guy who's ever said that they don't want to go to the Olympics. That's a dream and something that very few people get to realize.

Winning the Cup at a young age is a whole other level.
