I always wanted to be the best and to get the most out of myself.

I am putting pressure on myself to do my best and perform to my potential.

I want to be the best. So whatever comes with that, I have to accept it.

I gave it my best shot, tried to have the best rookie year I could.

The biggest thing for me is the passion that I've always had for hockey. I remember growing up, no matter what I did in life, my parents always told me to try to do my best at it and be my best. I can say going through different things that that passion is the most important part. It's not skills or talent or any of that stuff.

I think to be great, you have to prove that you're the best year after year after year and show that by winning. I think that's something you have to earn. You have to prove that. I don't really think about it. I think that's something that's too far ahead for me.
