On being selected an NHL All-Star: "It's never been a goal of mine to be an all-star. It has been a goal to be a top-line player. It is surprising, but at the same time I've worked extremely hard and pretty much worked my way up from the bottom to the top. In that way, this moment is pretty satisfying."
On the expectations of the fans: "It's better to be harped on to do well every night than to be someone who isn't even noticed. Once you have success one season, you have to follow it up the second and the third to really solidify yourself as that type of player. I'm fine with that."
On his style of play: "I've never been (flashy). I don't really dance around guys too much. I go about it a different way than Ales (Hemsky) does. I don't go through skates or toe drag. I don't even have that club in my bag. But there's lots of examples of guys who aren't flashy and still put up points. That's kind of the guy I'm trying to be."
