"This is obviously my second family. This is my second home. The relationship that we have, me, this team, ownership, it's great. Obviously, we've been through ups and downs, but most important thing, if you're a hockey player, if you're spending so much time, we won the Stanley Cup. That's the most important thing, and you want to win more and more, but sometimes s*** happens."
"Last year, we was unbelievable in the regular season, but we have some issues in the playoffs. But that experience, those guys that make it the first time in the playoffs, won the first round, it's going to help us and them in the future, for sure. Overall, the city, the organization, the fans, and everybody. I feel like this my second home."
