The people at the top of the league think they need to rein me in so I don't become another Michael Jordan, somebody they aren't able to mold and shape and make their puppet.

To succeed in hockey, you need teamwork.

All the people that come out and show their support and their pride for your accomplishments, I think it really reminds you that without people you don't ever to get to live that dream. To play in the NHL is one thing, but to win the Stanley Cup and come back and share it with everyone is another thing.

I'm a fan of LeBron James. I'm not really a team fan; I'm just a fan of one player.

Anyone can support a team that is winning - it takes no courage. But to stand behind a team to defend a team when it is down and really needs you, that takes a lot of courage.

Team sports, there's always some kind of sacrifice happening... A team, if we lose, if Michael Jordan has a bad night, you hang it on him a little bit... but if you lose as a tennis player, you have no one to blame but yourself, and that's a different beast.

I am a huge hockey fan.

Everybody in the NBA works on their game. I just tried to follow that lead when I was in high school, college - and now.

As long as I have the support and respect of my teammates, that's all I can ask for.

I contribute my best in my sport and I also have a ton of respect for myself and my family.
