NHL AWARDS CEREMONY


June 20, 2012


Gabriel Landeskog


LAS VEGAS, NEVADA

Q.  I noticed you were nervous coming into this.
GABRIEL LANDESKOG:  Yeah, I mean, it was pretty special feeling.  But I did get pretty nervous before.
It didn't help that I didn't have my belt.  I forgot my belt back in Sweden.  So it didn't help.  But it was good.  We solved that problem and that was fine.

Q.  (Question off Microphone)?
GABRIEL LANDESKOG:  I did, I guess my focus was elsewhere, but I did get to borrow a belt from my good friend and agent, Peter Wallen, so he saved me on that one.

Q.  Talk about achievement, what it means to you.
GABRIEL LANDESKOG:  It's an honor to just be in the group of all the great players that have won this award previously.  My good old friend Jeff Skinner, and there's a lot of them.  Peter Forsberg, Alfredsson are two of the Swedish guys, and it's a pretty special feeling and tough to describe right now.

Q.  It wasn't easy winning it given the other two guys.  They were pretty...
GABRIEL LANDESKOG:  Like I said, in my speech, they're two great players.  They definitely‑‑ I mean, to me, Ryan would have won it unless he didn't get hurt, and if you come to the Playoffs, I think Adam would have won it.  So like I said, two great players and really great guys.

Q.  (Question off Microphone)?
GABRIEL LANDESKOG:  I mean, that's tough.  I don't know if I want to look that far ahead, trying to take one day at a time, like I said before.  And I'm trying to enjoy it.  Trying to soak it all in.  I'm here right now and my focus is just to get better for next year.  And I think that's the key to have a successful career, not look too far ahead and just live in the moment.  I know it's cliche but that's the way it goes.
