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

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.

The equality among all members of the League, which is provided in the statutes giving each state only one vote, cannot of course abolish the actual material inequality of the powers concerned.

You and I are but specks of that rhythmic urge which is Brahma, which is Allah, which is God.

Photography has no dark sides!

I find it valuable to watch what I do. I like to know when I'm making a choice if it actually works or not.

They say not to look back, but if you’re not sure what lies ahead, what else is there but looking back?

The cloak of naiveté was the uniform of our success: we didn't know it couldn't be done.

Sports executives are great at convincing themselves whatever they believe is right and simply has to be.

I do a lot for PETA. I do a lot of things I think are really important, I volunteer at school and I'm still amazed I can pay my bills because I feel like I don't work that much, I really don't.

Until he gives you a reason not to trust him, behave as though you trust him.
