I think we've played for a long time like a playoff team, but we can still do better. The key now is to look forward instead of looking back. I'd like to start looking ahead at Nashville than look behind at the teams that are chasing us. |
I thought the first period was excellent and we were terrible in the second. In the third period, we found a way to get the job done and that was the difference. It was good enough to win the game. That's all that matters. |
I was hoping that this was going to happen at home in front of our own fans. Of course the big thing was that we won. |
I'm always joking about it -- he's the only guy who can play 30 minutes without breaking a sweat. He's so smooth and effortless. What really surprised me is how good he is in the battles. He's so strong. It looks like he's never hurried. It's unbelievable. I had no clue how good he was. |
I'm healthy, I've got all the wheels back. When you don't have your wheels you can't excel at this level. The whole year has been excellent, I'm really happy my knee is good again. I enjoy the game again, I've got my smile back. |
I've always looked at it as a big honor to go play for your own country, especially in the Olympics. It's honor to be there, even if it's a tougher season for us. I think in the future, you're going to see that it was great experience again. |
If it was a playoff game, it would be different, but I have to be smart. I'd rather miss one or two games than two weeks. |
If you lose a couple of teeth on the way to a gold medal I think it's a small price to pay. |
It was a long time ago and I think this team is way better than at that time. I don't think anybody's thinking about that any more. |
It was very important that our youngsters played well and our other lines scored big goals when we needed them. Good teams find a way to win the games. Our other lines were great tonight (Sunday), and that's what it takes. I don't think it was our best game, but it was good enough to win. |
It wasn't the prettiest (win), but we did a lot of good things. Even when they were up two goals we never gave up. |
It wasn't very easy to start the game, some guys haven't even been here for 20 hours. |
It's a jungle out there. I don't know about these new rules. |
It's a little easier than it was maybe two or three years ago, but you still have to be good. |
It's awesome. The team is playing with so much confidence right now. |
