  • I listen to all kinds of music. The Calling, Blink 182, Bruce Springsteen, I mean, it's everything.

  • I don't shop by brand loyalty at all. I'm just drawn to what I like when I shop. I do like this brand called Tiger of Sweden a lot, though. They make great sportswear and tailoring. And Calvin Klein; big supporter of them as well.

  • Last time I was starstruck was when I met Roger Federer. He is one of the few athletes that I really look up to - incredibly talented both on and off the track and a great role model for tennis.

  • There was a time in my life when I tried a lot of different things, different looks. Between the ages of 17 and 22, there were a lot of bad looks. But I guess you learn from your mistakes. After that, I kind of found my style and what I like to wear.

  • I love all the different ways that New Yorkers show their individuality through what they choose to wear.

  • During the Olympics they're really strict about what you're allowed to wear. You get a lot of clothes, but everything is pre-ordered. We had a fitting over the summer. You're not allowed to wear your own clothes. No logos, nothing. You get fined if you wear something you're not supposed to wear.

  • You get to the rink, stretch for 10-15 minutes, go on the ice 20 minutes before practice starts and do goalie drills, practice for an hour, then stay on the ice for about 10-15 minutes to do extra shooting.

  • When I try to relax, it's more Swedish rock, softer music, and I go out and do fun stuff. I play guitar, but it doesn't matter really what it is - just something that keeps you away from hockey.

  • As a goalie, you must stay positive. And if you do make a mistake, well, those things happen when you play my position.

  • I love that about New York: You just dress the way you want to dress and feel really comfortable because nobody is judging. You can just be yourself, and it's perfectly normal.

  • I usually have a hard time with the fit of off-the-rack suits, thanks to my athletic proportions, but somehow Burberry always fits me perfectly. There's no tailoring really required, which is rare for me.

  • No special suits for game days. I like to keep all my favorites in the mix. I'm always trying to look my best, even when I'm just visiting a city for eight hours and then getting back on a plane again.

  • I like to play music; play guitar - I love that. Play some golf in the summer. Just relax, enjoy the summer. That's nice.

  • Just because they're going to the gym, a lot of guys wear old T-shirts that look like they've been lying in the closet for 15 years. My workout clothes have to work.

  • For me, what takes up most of the space in my closet are suits. I wear a lot of suits and jackets. But I think every man needs a black suit at home. You can never go wrong in a black suit. But in terms of style, I think it's about being comfortable in what you wear.

  • I always want to push myself as far as possible; I always want to be up there and recognised as a good goalie and have people appreciate what you do.

  • Never say never. For the right reason, over the years I've been auctioning off masks for charity and it's always for a good cause. I think you would regret it if you just sold it for money.

  • I love playing music, so I think the whole John Varvatos look is kind of cool. I think he has a great style.

  • I've always aligned myself with a more modern, European fit. I maintain that fit is the thing that makes or breaks an outfit. Good tailoring trumps designer and price any day.

  • The key for hipsters is that they usually try really hard, but the important thing is they want to come across like they don't try. To make it look effortless. I don't mind. It really fits New York, the hipster look.

  • We are all built differently. Some guys are more powerful. Some guys are very tall. I'm not very tall, so I rely on quickness.

  • I flew over all my masks from Sweden, including my first that I bought when I was 15. That was a little while ago so the masks looked a little different. I painted it myself, but actually the way it looks now is not the look it had when I played. I repainted it after I was done using it.

  • I don't shop by brand loyalty at all. I'm just drawn to what I like when I shop.

  • We try to do different types of projects and last time was a fun event .

  • We're showing a lot of the good signs you need for a good team, so I have high hopes.

  • We've been doing something every year. We had a rock concert a few years ago to benefit the Garden of Dreams. And then we had the mask event.

  • You obviously never know when you have a lot of changes to a team, but the new guys have come in here and they look great. They work hard. But the league is so competitive now so it's hard to predict.

  • You spend that money, and then what? At least now you know it's going to a great cause. We'll see how many masks I'll keep in the future, but certain ones have more meaning, so I'll hold onto them.
