There are guys out there faster than me.
I never want to hurt anyone on the ice. That's not the type of player I am.
I like to wear tight jeans. Most of my stuff is pretty slim fit.
Ranger fans, they're expecting you to win, so you really want to show up every day.
In Sweden, they broadcast the American shows in English with Swedish subtitles, whereas in many European countries they dub them. Watching those shows in English was big for me.
As a hockey player, playing for an Original Six team at Madison Square Garden, where its packed every night, theres nothing like it.
For guys who are into fitness, I think its important to wear slim-fit stuff that is pretty tight so they can show off the bodies they have been working hard to have. Women are going to appreciate that.
Hair wax is my go-to. When it comes to shampoo, I use whatever is at the rink.
I had more friends on my hockey team than I did on my soccer team. I might have been better at soccer, to be honest. But I think it was more the friendship, and my family was more of a hockey family than a soccer family, so when I had to make a decision, I tried hockey, and it turned out to be a good decision.
I think I always just want to get better at whatever Im doing... Always strive for excellence.
You want to play in every game, and you especially don't want to be in the penalty box for five minutes and give the other team a chance to get a power play, and you don't want to hurt anyone on the other team.
When I'm in the city, I like to go to different events and get introduced to different people. That's what New York is all about. There is great diversity, and there are people from all over the world who have done amazing things. That's my favorite thing to do: meet new people.
