You always really have to remain consistent in your beliefs and philosophy.

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

I'm never gonna play again, and I know I'm really, really going to miss it.

We used to play a lot outdoors, not in leagues, but just in our spare time.

The day they put me in net I had a good game. I've stayed there ever since.

I want to win, I want to win everything. If I have a chance to win, why not?

My style is unique and it's my own. I do not try to copy or imitate anybody.

The Olympics are in my blood and everybody knows how much I love my country.

Every time a puck gets past me and I look back into the net, I say, 'uh-oh.'

Obviously, I played two years in Hartford and I have a lot of fond memories.

Probably not. Their depth and our play right now...it doesn't look too good.

I realized that my family was more important to me than downtown night life.

Until Charlie broke his ankle in Toronto, we were as good a unit as anybody.

You won't go the hell for smoking, you'll just smell like you've been there.

Everybody is jumping up and down back in Russia. Probably lots of vodka, too.

I have a good relationship with Russians, and with Americans. So I'm neutral.

Hockey has changed. The game has changed. You just have to be ready for that.

The most important thing for us is winning the Stanley Cup and I want to win.

Blood, sweat, tears. No practice tomorrow 'cause there's no one left to beat.

The worst financial transaction you will ever make is selling yourself short.

Maybe I'm sort of like the players - there's still a lot of little boy in me.

My assignment was in the communications office, where I typed out dispatches.

My goal was to play in the NHL, because that is the best hockey in the world.

When you think of Canada, you think of hockey and you think of Wayne Gretzky.

I've played golf everywhere in New Jersey. People are nice to me. It's great.

I was a natural skater, but I also took private lessons to enhance my skills.
