I don't care if I get no carries and just play special teams. I'm there to try to win football games and help that team win.
That's probably the biggest thing for any team in the playoffs, for every team - if you want to win. It's not about your numbers. It's not about scoring. It's about the team and whatever it is you need to do to help the team win. Whether it's rebounding, taking charges, getting steals, blocking shots or guarding somebody.
If you go into 'The Ultimate Fighter' and you're just gonna go in there to get just one fight and win... the premise is to win the whole thing. When I went in, I wanted to win the thing or be cut.
If you keep your team in the game and give them a chance to win each and every start, what could be better than that? That, to me, is my main goal.
I think as an away team, if you like that type of atmosphere where everybody's against you, you know it's going to be just you and your guys there for three hours trying to get a win. When you can get a win in that environment, I think it builds great character.
I just want to be in there at the end of the game to try to help the team win. The last six minutes of an NBA game is where you make your name, so hopefully I'm in there trying to help my guys win.
My main thing was just, I'm not worried about the stats or anything behind it, I just want to win. I want to win everything.
I don't really get involved in it, the whole thing. I understand how important this city is and what I mean to this city and what our team means to the city... but I don't get caught up into it. I just go out and play my game. I try to lead the best way I can, and if I can put my team and this franchise in a position to win the title, I'm grateful for that.
I just try to make sure that when I get there on the floor, I play as hard as I can and try to do everything I can to help the team win.
When you are a striker, you need to give a lot of effort for the team, to keep the opponent under pressure, to press them, to win the ball fast - that's what I try to do to help the team. After that, I try to make some goals.
I think sometimes, when you're on top and all you do is win, win, win, win, win, you get lazy and lose focus. When you lose it opens your eyes and you get serious. There is always a time when it is good to lose, at the right time for you.
You want to win everything possible and you try it every year, but you can't win everything, we know this as well but we have to play good football, we have to get the best of our team.
When you bring a winner onto your team, he knows how to win, he's going to help your team win, and that's the goal at the end of the day.
It's what you work for and grind for. Just to get out there and play the game and try to help your team to win. And in doing that, you just help yourself.
You don't try to make the Pro Bowl every year, you just try to do things to help your team win.
Because I always try so hard to win and had my troubles in Boston, I was suspended. At playoff time, it hurts not to be in the game with the boys. However, I want to do what is good for the people of Montreal and the team. So that no further harm will be done, I would like to ask everyone to get behind the team and to help the boys win from the Rangers and Detroit. I will take my punishment and come back next year to help the club and younger players to win the cup.
