Obviously, not playing a game before playoffs is something that happened, but especially going into the playoffs, you try to feel yourself out, where you're at, and then get right into game tempo and jump right in and play where you were before the injury.
-
I've noticed if you look too far ahead, it only works negatively on you.
-
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 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.

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.
-
I think, for me, I'm a player that wants the puck, and I'm a better player when I have it.
-
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 wouldn't be face-washing anyone in real life. I'd be skating to the bench real fast to get away.
-
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 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've always prided myself on being myself and trying to stick true to who I am and how I was raised.
-
I'm probably the guy who keeps it loose around the room and tries to joke around with guys before the game, keeping things funny.
-
I don't know if I expected to be a captain of an All-Star team. It's pretty cool.
-
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.
-
It's pretty funny, just driving by in a cab, and you see a huge billboard of yourself on the side of a hotel, like a 100-by-100 poster hanging up.
-
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.
-
Understanding where to be in your own zone really takes some time and development to learn.
-
I love to play the game, love to be around the rink, and love to joke around with my teammates and have some fun.
-
For me, I was really lucky to go to a city like Chicago where the team was struggling at the time, and I was able to go in and play right away.
-
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.
-
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.
-
I want to be someone who can be a role model to kids - and to everyone, for that matter.
-
Since I was drafted by the Blackhawks, the people of Chicago have really embraced me and treated me with nothing but respect.
