Physically, I'm fine. We're looking for offense, we're down a goal, so we got the guys there to try and generate some offense. Obviously, we're disappointed with the outcome again like the first game, but we can't be frustrated. I thought we played well enough to win it, it's just they played well, too. |
Right now, with a tie, a loss and a win, we've got to come up with a big game against Sweden. |
Ted is censoring the information that we want put out to the players. He has made it difficult for us to communicate. |
Ted never mentioned any of them until he got caught. |
That's half the battle, motivating the guys and holding everybody accountable. He'd be like a Mike Ditka coach, I think. |
That's taking $90 million out of the market place for players. That lowers the market for everyone. That's going to hurt our marquee players. It's contradicting the deal we agreed to. |
That's the most obscure place you could have it. Most players won't go. I think he set up to discourage as many people as possible from going. |
The big concern was that nobody knew what was going on. |
The biggest thing I've done is more water sports and a lot of mountain biking. I think the mountain biking took me to another level - it's all legs, and even balance. |
The biggest thing we stressed with (coach) Herb Brooks was that we needed to get off to a good start and to play with intensity right from the beginning of the tournament. That's the way we have to treat the Olympics. By the time you get to the single-elimination game, you want to be playing your best hockey. We are going to have to make the young guys understand that ... getting our intensity level high right from the beginning. |
The energy he brought. I love a coach who has that kind of passion for hockey. It's just too bad we couldn't finish it for him. |
The only thing I can say is, I've been through the same thing and you do come back strong, you can heal strong, and come back the same player, |
The only thing I can say is, I've been through the same thing, and you do come back strong and you can heal strong and come back the same player 100%, ... He's in great shape, and he's a hard worker, so I have no doubt he can come back and be the same player. |

The players are determined to ensure that all NHLPA members are fully and completely informed about matters relating to their membership and their futures. This is about democracy and transparency, ... As veteran players, we want to return the association to its members. It is our responsibility to the younger players. |
