I play low to the ice and that's a way I've protected myself in the past - I just felt that it was better to be safe than sorry.
Well, I'm a small guy.
I have to play hard and at the end of the day I still have to strive to protect myself and so does everybody in the league.
I'm not great at trying new things.
I'm not a big poker guy, I like to play shnarps.
We rush through this career and it ends abruptly for the most part.
You can't plan your future.
I have a huge interest in ancient Egyptian times and the mummies and the kings and all that.
I'd rather take 30 points and win a Cup than I would 100 points and not win.
It's tough to lose, but it's a lot tougher to lose knowing how good it is to win, how good it feels to win.
At the end of the day, we all play for one reason and that's to win.
I think the biggest thing in my game is my confidence.
I play with good players. So it makes it a lot easier when you're playing with the guys I'm able to play with.
There's a difference between having an edge and being stupid.
A lot of things can happen in a year's time.
I've always been the kind of guy to take it day by day with not a whole lot of worries.
When you're a young kid and you come into the NHL, you're given money and fame, to an extent, especially in Boston.
Winning the Cup at a young age is a whole other level.
Every guy that I've talked to would love to have that opportunity to go, and I don't think there's one guy who's ever said that they don't want to go to the Olympics. That's a dream and something that very few people get to realize.
I've always been a pretty easy going guy.
