“It was a dream come true for me to play with the Montreal Canadiens, and the sad thing is that my promise to the city of bringing a Stanley Cup back and wanting to win one, I won't be able to fulfill that promise.”

“I think it's important to build people up and to make people feel good.”

“There's a time and a place when it needs to be all about hockey. I don't think that's 24 hours a day, seven days a week. How you choose to spend that time when it's not all about hockey is completely up to you.”

“Sometimes I think getting your mind off the game and doing other things can make you even better. Everybody's different. You have to find out what works for you.”

“I'm a pretty big believer in seizing the moment.”

“I've always been one to want to represent my country. I've done it on a few occasions and I've had tremendous success.”

“I don't think your focus as a hockey player or athlete can be anywhere else but how you want to impact the team on the ice or on the field or court.”

“Winning is the most important thing to me.”

“Like I said, I've always been one to let my actions do the talking for me.”

“I embrace responsibility.”

“Why do I have to just focus on hockey? Why can't I help people? Why can't I have fun with my fans?”

“Everything I do is with a planned approach.”

“You look at the best players in the game - Wayne Gretzky, Bobby Orr - they didn't sit on the couch and then one day join the NHL. They worked on their game. Their talent was perseverance, dedication. Those are talents to me; that's what gets you to the NHL.”

“I never want a coach to feel like he needs to be my friend, I always want a coach to be the coach and I'm the type of guy that wants to be held accountable all the time, so I respect coaches.”

“My family doesn't know what vacations are, man.”

“I want a Stanley Cup.”

“It's not a conscious thing for me. But whenever I have the opportunity to bring it, I want to give more than the guy before me. Hockey. Off-ice stuff. Just life in general.”

“To win the Stanley Cup is such a process and it takes everybody on board.”

“I grew up a Montreal Canadiens fan.”

“I'm a competitive guy, and when it's time to be competitive, I'm all in.”
