There's not a whole lot that fazes me at all.
That's what you need to win a Cup and go far in the playoffs, you need every guy to be accountable in all areas of the ice.
When you react to things, that's when you get into trouble and it's tough to completely control a split-second reaction.
If we have to battle through some adversity during the year, sometimes that can be the best thing for a team.
I think playing with great players and great teams, I've been given opportunities to succeed.
I feel very fortunate.

Those split-second decisions that you can't take back, that's what I need to continue to improve.
Everyone's going to have an opinion on the way I play the game, or things I've done.
Sometimes, you go down to Florida and Tampa and you get a couple days off, you can get complacent.
