“I love the city here in Columbus, I love the team here, I'm really excited to be here.”
“I'm five-foot-nine.”
“As a player, you don't really have time to look back at your own season and feel like how you did because you've got to get ready for playoffs and put all that aside - because it doesn't mean anything once playoffs start. That's kind of the mindset I've always had.”
“I like to be on the ice.”
“Because you're a smaller guy, you're at a disadvantage and you need to be better offensively, defensively, at making plays and stuff like that. It's every small guy's problem.”
“I got to go out on the ice whenever I wanted, and I could invite all my buddies, friends to come out whenever there was open ice. I kind of used that to my advantage when I was younger.”
“There are some passionate fan bases in the NHL and Canada is a different level.”
“I cherished the time I spent in Calgary.”
“When I was growing up, I played hockey, soccer, baseball, basketball. It was more making sure that I stayed healthy and in shape and getting fresh air rather than sitting at home playing video games or something. That was my childhood, right there.”
“You learn from other players.”
“When I was growing up I would have never gotten the chance to go to Gloucester Catholic without a lot of help from people.”
“You try to put your individual accomplishments to the side when it comes to playoffs.”
“Not superstitious at all. I mean, I show up to the rink before games, five minutes before the two-hour period.”
“It's always exciting seeing hats get thrown on the ice.”
“I like to read the play. Some of it's luck, being at the right place, right time.”
“The first day I stepped into Dubuque, I knew it was a special place.”
“I've been through these stretches before where the points just aren't there, and you stick with it and it'll eventually come around.”
“You go through ups and downs throughout the year.”
“When I was drafted in 2011, I honestly couldn't point out Calgary on a map.”
“Once you are feeling comfortable and confident and you're playing well as a team, you have to do it the next night and the next night.”
