The (NHL) game now proverb

 The (NHL) game now is the closest thing we've ever had to the Olympics. Hopefully it will make us better in the Olympic Games.

 The Olympics now are no longer the Olympics. It's a continuation of the NHL. They call it the Olympic Games, but is it really the Olympic Games when professional players are playing?

 We still have a long way to go. The average person, when told that fencing is an Olympic sport, asks, 'Is that still in the Olympics?' It's been in every Olympics there has ever been in the modern age. There's fencing in every summer Olympics and it never gets televised. There's no fencer who is a household name. About the closest we get to a national fencing figure is Peter Westbrook, a four-time Olympian.

 Despite the fact that everyone recognizes the Olympics to be a huge commercial enterprise, the International Olympic Committee and its constituent organizations lack the accountability and the openness needed to keep up with the role the Olympic Games play in the world today,

 I think she has her eye on the Olympics, and this is obviously a stepping-stone toward that. Training at the Olympic facility will be wonderful, and it'll raise her exposure. That [Olympic team] is going to be a pretty difficult team to make.

 I cannot understand why Mr. Rogge would comment on the current owners' lockout when he clearly has no information about any of the issues surrounding it. NHLPA members have shown great support for the last two Winter Olympic Games and have also pledged to play in the next two Olympics, however they are waiting for the NHL to make the same commitment.

 The satisfying thing about this game is it puts us 16 games up over our next closest team in the division with 26 to go. That's pretty good.

 It's a bit of a downer for everyone after the Olympics. But to me, the worlds after an Olympic Games is always so interesting because unexpected things happen.

 The opening ceremony is a crucial part of the Olympic Games. The success of a high-level Olympic Games with distinguishing features depends on the level of the opening ceremony. The 1.3 billion Chinese people are full of aspirations for the Olympic Games, and they have very high expectations for the opening ceremony. For billions of TV viewers around the world, the opening ceremony is also the 'first impression' that the Olympic Games have to offer.

 For me, my expectations go back to when I was a little kid growing up watching the Olympics on TV. I loved the Summer Games, particularly track and field. Everyone has their own special Olympic moment. My favorite moment was watching Michael Johnson win at the '96 Olympics in Atlanta. That's it. That's my moment . . . big time . . . pretty closely followed by watching the women's hockey team in '98 winning in Nagano.

 This is the beginning of the season leading up to (the Olympics). This the first opportunity you are going to see the program, the music that these skaters hope to present at the Olympic Games.

 They know that NBC has an Olympic contract signed that covers them through the Summer Olympics coming up and what have you. I think they deliberately went at it and tried to drive down the Olympic ratings in an effort to hurt NBC.

 I was telling my mother that this isn't the Olympic dream I planned. We're just trying to get to the Olympics, and if we get to the Olympics then maybe we'll know how to pay for it.

 Eventually, I'd like to make it to the Olympic Trials in 2008. I'd just like to make it to the trials at least. If I don't make the Olympics, I'd definitely like to make it in 2012. But right now, I'm just focusing on Saturday.

 For us, it's been a really good stretch lately and we just wanted to (make) the last game before the Olympic break a winner and even though there were some bad plays on the defensive end, we still managed to win the game. Sometimes, teams need games like this when you don't play your best, you find a way to win.
