Patrick Kane

“I'll always welcome some extra shifts and some extra ice time, and it's my job to be as prepared as possible to play those minutes.”

“Especially in the day and age now with social media and cameraphones and things like that, you always have to act like you're being watched.”

“There are some guys you definitely would not want dating your sister - especially hockey players.”

“We're here to win. We're not here just for the experience.”

“For me personally, I try to use my size to my advantage where I can either slip by guys or try to create more space for myself.”

“I love to play the game, love to be around the rink, and love to joke around with my teammates and have some fun.”

“I don't want to be satisfied with where I'm at or happy about what I've done. I want to keep pushing it.”

“I stickhandle a lot at practice. I watch a lot of hockey, so I try to either pick up something from other players or watch some video and see what kind of move would work in the same situation.”

“I've always prided myself on being myself and trying to stick true to who I am and how I was raised.”

“Sometimes it's nice just being in your own room and having a quiet night and relaxing and getting ready for the game.”

“People might not view me as competitive as I really am.”

“There are great fans in Chicago. I think you'd rather have them recognize than not recognize you.”

“If I was bigger I might not have had the same skill set as I do, the speed.”

“I like having those preseason games and exhibitions to really get ready for the regular season and get yourself off to a good start.”

“It's always cool to go to different places and see what's really out there in the world.”

“It's good for the NHL to implement different things - the 3-on-3, money that'll go to players - to try to get us to play at a higher level.”
