When you play hockey, you don't have any fear. As soon as you step on the ice everything goes away and you're focusing on the puck and focusing on the play.
I like to have the puck when I have speed. You know, then I'm dangerous.
I just try to do my best to shoot the puck and we'll see what's going to happen with it.
Sometimes the pass is perfect, but you can't shoot the puck. Sometimes it's a bad pass and you do a good shot.
I like ice hockey, but it's a frustrating game to watch. It's hard to keep your eyes on both the puck and the players and too much time passes between scoring in hockey. There are usually more fights than there are points.
I think a lot of times what practice can do for you when guys are playing a lot of minutes, it sometimes takes away a little bit of their sharpness, because they have the puck a lot and all that.
You can be a great skater, you can have really good puck skills, but the ability to problem-solve is, to me, key.
Sometimes when you start playing games you don't get as many practices and you don't get as many touches. People think you have the puck the whole time during a game - you really don't.
Goal scorers are always sniffing things out, but once they realize 'hey, if I don't have the puck I can't score,' then you have to be a part of the solution so you can get it back so you can score.
We take the shortest route to the puck and arrive in ill humor.
