I've noticed if you look too far ahead, it only works negatively on you.
-
If I score a goal on the road, I come home, and that's probably the first thing I'm doing, pullin' up the laptop and watching. Can't watch it in front of the teammates, or else I'll get made fun of.
-
I wouldn't be face-washing anyone in real life. I'd be skating to the bench real fast to get away.
-
It's kind of crazy to think I'm still 22 and going into my fifth season. Time has been flying by. I think it's about that time I really take the next step to the elite level.
-
Obviously, you want to help the team win in any way possible. If that's scoring goals, great.
-
Especially in the day and age now with social media and cameraphones and things like that, you always have to act like you're being watched.
-
I've always prided myself on being myself and trying to stick true to who I am and how I was raised.
-
I don't know if I expected to be a captain of an All-Star team. It's pretty cool.
-
It's good to get out there and kind of move the body around a little bit, play some hockey, enjoy Nashville as a city and spend some time with family and friends.
-
I probably spend the most time with Toews: we have the same schedule, and we're roomies on the road; we sit next to each other. We do a lot of promotions together.
-
I think, for me, I'm a player that wants the puck, and I'm a better player when I have it.
-
A lot of the players that I play with who are Canadian, they call me Patty. Before then, I never heard it. I didn't mind Patty.
-
It's good for the NHL to implement different things - the 3-on-3, money that'll go to players - to try to get us to play at a higher level.
-
I love to play the game, love to be around the rink, and love to joke around with my teammates and have some fun.
-
I want to be someone who can be a role model to kids - and to everyone, for that matter.
-
I'm just kind of focused on playing the game and try to get better at certain things and wipe the slate clean every night.
-
I stickhandle a lot at practice. I watch a lot of hockey, so I try to either pick up something from other players or watch some video and see what kind of move would work in the same situation.
-
People might not view me as competitive as I really am.
-
It's great to be able to continue my career in Chicago. Playing with the best organization in sports and the best fans in the game is a blessing.
-
Since I was drafted by the Blackhawks, the people of Chicago have really embraced me and treated me with nothing but respect.
-
I like having those preseason games and exhibitions to really get ready for the regular season and get yourself off to a good start.
-
For me personally, I try to use my size to my advantage where I can either slip by guys or try to create more space for myself.
-
I'll always welcome some extra shifts and some extra ice time, and it's my job to be as prepared as possible to play those minutes.
-
Understanding where to be in your own zone really takes some time and development to learn.
