On being named a 2008 All-Star: "It'll be a huge honour to be there. It's definitely not something I expected. To be going to an all-star game with guys like that is a great chance for me. I'm grateful to be going. I'm going to take in every moment when I'm there... what makes it feel nice, I guess, too, is that if you work hard good things will happen, and today it did for me."
On his increased ice-time: "Every player likes to play and I love being out on the ice as much as possible. Playing against other teams' good players is always a challenge. I just have to be that much more focused and prepared physically for more minutes."
On learning from Trent Yawney in Norfolk (AHL): "He taught me to play proper D and what it took. It was nice to have somebody at that point in my career willing to take the time to teach me how to be better. He deserves a lot of credit for where I am today, that's for sure."
On watching the NHL growing up: "Growing up as a kid in Canada, that's what you did on Saturday – watched Hockey Night in Canada. We used to sit around (after being at the rink all day playing games) with some chips and my dad would make Coke floats. We'd all watch it together. You can probably compare it to people down in the states watching football. But kids in Canada, when they think of the NHL, they think of Hockey Night in Canada and Saturday nights. That's what everybody does in Canada."
