It's all about how you feel in two weeks. How can you take the losses? How can you handle the winning? |
It's always great to play your best hockey before the playoffs. They're hot, but it has to stop somewhere. |
It's an honor. And hopefully I'm going to score a lot more. I don't want to stop at 50. |
It's different. Even if you think you're ready for it, it's a different game. |
It's like when your wife is chasing you every day, everywhere you go and you want to have freedom. |
It's New York. It can go the other way, too. |
It's not easy to face him. Everybody knows how good he is. But we don't have a choice. We have to face it. They beat you with with one goal or two goals. They're not going to beat you 7-0. |
It's not good for us and it's not going to get better until we win. I'm hoping it's not too late to stop it. I thought we had a big chance today and we didn't do it. |
It's the playoffs. If I can play, I'm going to play. I knew it wasn't going to be any good. I tried my best. |
It's very important to score the first goal. We scored the first goal against Slovakia (in the quarterfinals). Sweden scored the first goal against us (in the semis). Finland scored first against Russia (in the semis). When you're down, you have to change your game plan. |
it's very likely that the World Cup will become the last tournament on the national team for me. |
Its tough to be down (in the series), I can't really describe how it feels. We are almost done and we are unable to score any goals. |
Let's go back to early in the season; would you think we can play 5-on-5 against teams that good? |
Marty never goes to the net. |
Maybe for some guys it would take a month, hopefully my body is different and heals quick. I'll have to pray a lot and hope for miracles. If the pain lets me play a little bit, I'll be on the ice the first chance I have. |
