I don't really think about it. Maybe I do after the game.
We had a good talk today and right now everybody is focused on doing whatever we can do to get a win Saturday. If we get a win, a lot of things can happen.
We came to the tournament with pretty high expectations. We really wanted to win.
During the Olympics they're really strict about what you're allowed to wear. You get a lot of clothes, but everything is pre-ordered. We had a fitting over the summer. You're not allowed to wear your own clothes. No logos, nothing. You get fined if you wear something you're not supposed to wear.
You get to the rink, stretch for 10-15 minutes, go on the ice 20 minutes before practice starts and do goalie drills, practice for an hour, then stay on the ice for about 10-15 minutes to do extra shooting.
I always want to push myself as far as possible; I always want to be up there and recognised as a good goalie and have people appreciate what you do.
As a goalie, you must stay positive. And if you do make a mistake, well, those things happen when you play my position.
The key for hipsters is that they usually try really hard, but the important thing is they want to come across like they don't try. To make it look effortless. I don't mind. It really fits New York, the hipster look.
For me, what takes up most of the space in my closet are suits. I wear a lot of suits and jackets. But I think every man needs a black suit at home. You can never go wrong in a black suit. But in terms of style, I think it's about being comfortable in what you wear.
I like to play music; play guitar - I love that. Play some golf in the summer. Just relax, enjoy the summer. That's nice.
I listen to all kinds of music. The Calling, Blink 182, Bruce Springsteen, I mean, it's everything.
Last time I was starstruck was when I met Roger Federer. He is one of the few athletes that I really look up to - incredibly talented both on and off the track and a great role model for tennis.
It really comes down to fit. When it comes to a suit, for example, it's important that the shoulders fit you well; the length of the pants are important. That kind of shows me right away if you're into it or if you don't care. If they get the shoulders right, you know that they have some sort of interest in getting a good look.
I think Jennifer Lawrence seems to really get it right when she's on the red carpet.
