Why jersey No. 32? My wife's favorite number is three and mine is two. So I put them together.

Favorite way to spend time away from the rink: We love to ride our bikes. We cruise around with our two dachshunds in the front. We also love to ski and go snowboarding.

Hockey players you admired growing up: I was a Pittsburgh Penguins fan growing up. I loved Darius Kasparaitis. He wasn't big but he could hit. I also loved Mario Lemieux.

Favorite sport other than hockey: I really like shooting hoops with the guys. I will watch any [sport] on TV. You'll see me watching girls high school basketball on BCSN.

Favorite type of music: Punk Rock. I like Social Distortion, The Clash, The Sex Pistols, and Bad Religion.

Favorite meal? I love Japanese steak houses.

Have you ever eaten walleye? I have not.

Favorite beverage: Coke in a glass bottle. You use to have to go to a Mexican grocery store to find them.

Best fast food: In-N-Out Burger.

Favorite Movie: Year One. Reservoir Dogs.

Favorite TV Show: It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia

Favorite video game: None. I'm not a gamer.

Favorite Web site: babygap.com or diapers.com

Do you have a twitter account? I don't.

Person you most admire: Parents, Tom and Lisa

If you could meet a person, dead or alive, who would it be? Dick Wolf. I'd love to meet the guy that writes and produces all those law shows.

Favorite place you've been to? Sun Valley, Idaho. It's the home of the first chair lift

Nickname: Lamps.

What would you be doing if you weren't playing hockey? I'd be working with kids or cooking at a restaurant. That's what I do in the summer, I'm a cook at a restaurant.

Something nobody knows about you: I've never chewed a piece of gum in my life. I'm just grossed out by the tinfoil gum wrapper.
