After that, I thought our line worked ourselves back into the game. I'm a little tired today because it was a long game. But, other than that, I feel great. |
All the teams that get in the playoffs are tough. Buffalo is tough and so is New Jersey and everyone else. We just have to worry about ourselves. |
As long as my teammates are scoring and we're winning games, it's okay, but down the road I have to start scoring, too, |
At least we're going home and we're going to try to build momentum from there. |
Before the Olympics, I would have been surprised if you had told me that Canada and the USA would not get a medal. But after I got here and saw the way the (European) teams are playing, I am not very surprised. |
Buffalo is tough. We just have to worry about ourselves. |
Colorado had a week there before everybody else got in to negotiate, ... I knew there was going to be an offer. They showed the offer in the Denver papers. |
First period, I got a little tired. Other than that, I felt good. |
Gagne's a good goal-scorer, |
He is definitely the quickest player I've ever played with, |
He is like a god over there. He is the best player to have ever played for our national team, no question. |
He's been out all year. If he comes back it's a bonus, but we're not counting on it. We have to turn it around without him. We have to play much smarter than we did today. |
He's got great spirit. He scores big goals, and you have to know where he is. He gives everything every single night. |
I can't speak for Mats as to how frustrated he might be at not winning one. All I know is how great a feeling it is. |
I did that move once before and it kind of worked. I thought it was a good move today. It worked. |
