I'm proud to be Russian. We have probably the best country in the world. Everything is the best: hockey players, cars, girls.
If somebody ask me to do something for my country, I will. If there's a world championship, I go.
When I was young, a little guy, I always played videogames, NHL, and always paid attention to the photo on the box. I always wanted to have my photo there.
I started playing hockey late and it was unclear until the very last moment if I was talented or not. But it turned out well.
The most important thing for us is winning the Stanley Cup and I want to win.
It's only first place in NHL. Nobody remembers who's second place. Everyone remembers the winner.
