I played with a lot of guys in this room, ... And with the younger guys I worked out in the summer. And the Russian guys they know me from over there. I'm kind of a man of the world. |
I think maybe we were too confident. We tried to be more fancy. |
I think we all just have to be less aggressive and much smarter. When you go to hit guys, don't put your elbows up. |
I think we all know the situation. We all see the newspapers and we have the standings in the locker room for a reason. It's never too early to look. |
I think you can tell that he wants to play, too. You can see in his eyes that he wishes he could still play. It's good to have Pavel around. |
I was expecting to get hit, not punched in the face from the side. |
I was just skating to help Max [Kondratiev]. Suddenly [Ovechkin] came in front of me and my stick was between his legs and he tripped. It's a tough one. I couldn't do anything different, it happened so quick. I didn't see him coming. |
I wish we scored more goals. But that's the game, as a player, that you're excited to play. I think the game has changed a lot. And the fans love it. |
It feels all right. If it feels like this, I'll probably play. |
It was just a hip check. I've done it my whole career. It's a lost art. |
It was probably an Islanders fan. |
It was shocking to lose a game like that. We played solid for 55 minutes. |
It will keep us at our highest concentration level. As long as there's no injuries, I don't think there's a downside. |
It would be such a great honor and such a big responsibility being the captain of the New York Rangers, ... I don't think there's anywhere else that you can compare that. Especially going after Mark Messier, it's going to be tough and a lot of pressure. |
It's a new season and a new attitude. We had a good start, they [the Devils] had a good finish. We have no doubt we can beat them. |
