You've just got to bring it every night. And that's what makes the great players great.
If I was on a third or fourth line I would probably be in the NHL, because you don't have to produce every night.
I just try to do as good job with the material as I can and play some jazz as well, some improvised music, and do that every night. Just see where it goes.
My focus is to start my game with my defense every night.
If you're not prepared to go out and steal the show every night, your job is going to be much more on the line on a regular basis. If you can master that, that's something that you never really have to worry about.
25 years later, you know, I haven't really put too much emphasis on any kind of individual goal, other than trying to win any particular night, trying to find a way to do that.
Stand-up comedy is something that you have to strive to do, multiple times a night, every night, to be good.
I was looking for some way to put my music to some service on a nightly basis. You go into a town, you play a little music, you leave something behind. That idea connected us to the local community. It was a very simple idea, but it really resonated with me.
It's something I take a lot of pride in doing, in being the best defensive player in the world, in helping my teammates every night.
