If I am, it's a great honor and it's going to be a fun tournament. It's going to be great and it's going to be fun to play against the best players in the world.

If its a one-goal game or a tie, you can't let in easy goals.

It feels good, 20 wins, still some games left. I wouldn't mind a couple more. I really didn't think about it (20 wins). I didn't know how many games I was going to play. Didn't know what to expect.

It was like I was trying to protect a soccer net.

It's a classic rivalry, Sweden against Finland. So it's going to be a great game.

It's always fun to play against Ottawa, the two best teams in the league. I think it's a good sign when you play good against good teams. Both games (this year) we played really well against them.

It's good to see where we are. Canada is the best team on paper, so it's a really important win for us. It gives a lot of confidence.

It's never fun to come out of a game and it's never fun to go in, to tell you the truth. I was sitting on the bench for an hour and a half, so it wasn't easy for me, either.

It's not all about the goalie this year. There are going to be more goals this year, more power plays. It's not all about the goalie when teams score five or six goals a game.

Maybe when you lose the best player in the world it does affect you. I was a little surprised at the way they played after that.

Physically and mentally I feel fine. I had no problems before the game or during the game.
