Courage

I never think about quitting. Because even if I have a bad game, there is always something to look forward to.

You have to learn how to stay positive and get through challenges.

Pressure is what you make of it.

If you don't feel you have a fighting chance, then you might as well not be out there at all.

I've never been scared of the big moments, I get butterflies. I get nervous and anxious, but I think those are all good signs that I'm ready for the moment.

You've got to love what you're doing. If you love it, you can overcome any handicap or the soreness or all the aches and pains, and continue to play for a long, long time.

If you can't beat them in the alley, you can't beat them on the ice.

The game has its ups and downs, but you can never lose focus of your individual goals and you can't let yourself be beat because of lack of effort.

You have to work hard and never give up. If you have a dream, you have to fight for it.

You don't have to go looking for a lot of great things to say about Sidney Crosby. He competes really hard, he has fun... He's out there to just test himself every time he gets on the ice.

You miss 100% of the shots you don't take.

The moment you give up is the moment you let someone else win.

I hated every minute of training, but I said, 'Don’t quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion.'

Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they’ve been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It’s an opinion. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.

Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee.

I think it's really important to believe in yourself, because if you don't, then who will, sweetie?

You have to believe in yourself when no one else does, that makes you a winner right there.

I always believe I can beat the best, achieve the best. I always see myself in the top position.

I always believe if you're stuck in a hole and maybe things aren't going well you will come out stronger.

I fear no one, but respect everyone.
