Everybody was just looking forward to get the game started. |
He's one of our better players, so for sure we want him back. He had 50 points last year in the Swedish Elite League, a great season. He's going to one of the top players in the NHL, so having one of those guys on your team is a huge plus. |
I can't complain, they're coming and I'm getting the bounces, ... I was getting shots earlier in the season, too, but I wasn't getting the bounces. |
I didn't play overtime so you're sitting there waiting. It's a little bit tight but you just try to be loose and do your thing. I was lucky this time. |
I think I've been having a decent year; I've scored some goals, my ice time is coming up more. I don't know -- they know what they get when I'm on the ice -- I'm around the net, I do my thing on the power play, and try to screen the goalie. They know what they're going to get. |
I was really surprised he played that good, just because it looks like maybe age is creeping in on him but ... I haven't seen him that fast in a tournament. |
I wish I knew. Maybe because they've been battling for the last month and they've been in this grind and have to win every night. Anything can happen in overtime, when the games go into overtime. |
I'm sure it's like that for the fans, too. You want to see different teams, different players. |
I've got three kids running around. I have to keep track of those. |
It surprised me. Of course you want to play in the Olympics. I'm really disappointed, for sure. |
It was an ugly game, the first two periods weren't pretty at all, but we hung in there. |
It was nuts. My heart was racing 300 (beats) and I was standing on the bench. I have no idea how the puck didn't go in. |
It's around the net, it's ugly goals — that's how you score in the playoffs. |
It's rivals like the U.S. and Canada for sure. It's pretty much the same. It's going to be good. |
My mom and dad are still here, so we'll have a nice Christmas dinner, lots of food, and then try to digest it the 25th and then practice the 26th. |
