I don't know WHEN I'll be big enough to play!

The biggest thing I have learned is you can't take anything for granted. You have to work as hard as you can every night, regardless.

On every level I have played I've heard, 'Am I going to perform or not because of my size?' I think I have proved to people I can perform regardless of how big I am.

I've spent every game I've ever played making sure I'm out-working the other guy.

I feel more comfortable confidence-wise. You get to the NHL, and you're nervous about trying things. With experience, you're not as afraid of being creative.

Why would I want four or five more inches? I use my speed.

New York is a place I wanted to come

You want to be the guy who makes an impact in every game. In this sport it's all about results-winning games and making the playoffs.

Sometimes offensive players get turned into defensive players, which sometimes isn't a bad thing, but for me I need a chance to play more offense.

I made the move (to #NYR) thinking about this opportunity, to play in the #StanleyCup Final.

Humans draw a hard line between thinking something and saying it aloud.

I am a nobody trying to be a somebody by not riding or pulling down anybody.

You wanted to see the world. And yet, all I want is to see you.

Sometimes, I am my own worst enemy.

Progressive rhetoric has the effect of concealing social crisis and moral breakdown by presenting them as the birth pangs of a new order.

Suicide is like the ejector button in the cockpit of an F-15. If life goes into a permanent tail spin, it's nice to know the option is there.

Yet habit - strange thing! what cannot habit accomplish?

Let's face it: the world is twisted. And rotten.

Nothing has existence unless you, I, or some living creature perceives it, and how it is perceived further influences that reality. Even time itself is not exempted from biocentrism.

Some pale, hueless flicker of sensitivity is in me. God, must I lose it in cooking scrambled eggs for a man.
