“I do a lot of squats, I do a lot of bench pressing. But legs are very important for me. It's more important than arms and shoulders.”

“We create our own destiny.”

“I love driving cars.”

“I just enjoy playing hockey obviously.”

“Every time when the season starts you have a goal, right? To reach the playoffs. You reach the playoffs, and then the next step is to win the Cup.”

“Fifty is a pretty cool number.”

“A thousand games for one organization, it's pretty cool, and I'm going to be the first guy to do it in Washington.”

“To be honest, I don't remember what happened in '95, '96 and '97. It was hard years. My memory is deleting.”

“The New Year is probably the biggest celebration in Russia.”

“If you compare Russia and America, they are two different worlds. People, cars, clothes. Girls' figures. Especially girls' figures. Why do you think that is, that when an American goes to Russia for a week, he stays for two extra weeks? Girls! And when a Russian goes to America for a week, he leaves in five days. I'm serious!”

“I think it is very important to spend time to help make people all over the world see how great a game hockey is.”

“If you train 12 months a year, you won't have any strength for the important games.”

“I don't need to prove to someone that I'm as good as I am.”

“Every milestone is special.”

“They call me Caveman because I don't care what others think of me.”

“It is not a secret that I want to get better every day with every game.”

“I think it's people's choice, right? If you watch movie, you watch movie. If you play video games, you play video games. I play games on my phone as well.”

“The road is the best spot to drive - just anywhere.”

“My mom was a two-time Olympic champion and when I start to play hockey I dream that if I have chance to play for my country I will do it every time they ask me.”

“When your dream comes true you have to have great fun.”
