I think they'll have to worry a little bit about us the way we've been playing. |
I thought things were starting to go right [as a team], and then we dropped one, 4-2, at home. |
I thought we did a good job killing it ... just that last five seconds, ... That's a long burn for the boys. |
I tried to get the glove forward on him and not give him any angle. It's not really a save, it's more taking space away. |
I wasn't too thrilled with the start. |
I'm disappointed it worked out this way. The Olympics are a great honor, and I'm sorry I'm probably going to miss out on it. I'm just moving forward with my career, and I think I'm on a good path right now. |
I'm just going to have to play good hockey and not worry about these things, |
I'm not thrilled with that, but we have to overcome that sometimes. A game is not won in the first 10 minutes. I've learned enough in my four years as a pro to know it's a long game. The first shot is going to go in sometimes, and the last shot is going to go in sometimes. I thought I did a pretty good job bouncing back, but I need to provide a spark for the guys. I need to be a difference maker, and that includes doing it early. |
I'm ready to rock as soon as I get my [thumb] muscle back. |
I've been getting scored on a little bit lately. I guess that's how it goes. It's hockey. It's going to bounce around a little bit. For the most part they've been decent goals. There's a few in there I don't think are tremendous, but not any that were too terrible. |
I've never really done anything like this. It was definitely a good experience on and off the ice, ... It gets the top U.S. guys out there. I was trying to keep up with them and trying to establish myself among those guys. |
If it is offensive to people, it should be taken off. |
If somebody's telling you they don't hear the crowd they're lying or else they're some kind of monk who studied how to block everything out. You have to feel it. No sense in ignoring it. You're a part of it. You're on the ice. You're playing. It's just how you use it. |
It feels good to be recognized as a potential athlete, we'll see how it turns out. There's still another week and there's some time during the games where I could head over there and I'd be thrilled to do it, but I'm just going to concentrate on the next three games and a little break, and if the Olympics comes up, I'll be happy. |
It just kind of rattled around. |
