We've warned our guys. He's a guy that you can burn, but he can hurt you if you don't have your wits about you when he's on the ice because he's going to come running, and if you're not ready for it . . . I've seen some tremendous hits out of him this year.
More Quotes from Lindy Ruff:
I'm very impressed with the determination he put into the work in the off-season to get where he's at. He came into camp with the type of passion and energy that really fit our style. It just seemed like he had grown up and matured and was ready to go full-bore ahead.Lindy Ruff
It puts a target on you, but I think I have a great rapport with the players we have here now, ... We as a staff, myself included, we have to silence the critics. That's the way I look at it. If we don't, whatever happens, happens. We have something to prove. If we don't, we should take the blame.

You see it day in and day out. You may even see a little bit more focus and just talk about the little things, the good habits. You look at his play, he's been scoring big goals for us and killing penalties. And I think if you're going to talk it, you have to lead it. He's done both.

Every game we play, every team we play, we've talked that teams are gunning for us. The first 15 minutes they may not even try to score. They're saying, 'Let's not turn the puck over, let's not give them any chances.' You notice teams aren't taking any penalties early in the game.
