I feel great about that. It's a different situation for us. We're going to relish it. We can appreciate people's opinions, but we have a lot of belief in our team and the selections made. We have a lot of people to prove wrong. I certainly like the underdog role. |
I loved how we skated and were in position. We played better as a team. We should've had a lot more goals. |
I think everybody presses. I just have that feeling of wanting to be a piece of the puzzle. But I feel great after a game like this. |
I thought (Walker) pinned the other guy's stick on the ice and made a real good play. Even with the zero- tolerance, I thought his stick was on his stick and he did a good job controlling. |
I was posed a question in my news conference, 'Would you ever consider coming back to St. Louis?' Sure. I'd consider going back there and 29 other teams. |
I'll be honest with you, I didn't want to go anywhere. It was sad, the kids are happy and everybody's happy -- and there's not a place I want to win a Stanley Cup more than here. |
I'm going to get a lot more goals this season. Give it to 'Brew.' He's going to need it. |
I'm not afraid to say that I love St. Louis. It's a place that's dear to me and a place that I'd love to end up. Who knows, before you turn around I could be back here. I could be back here in a year, in six months, you don't know. |
I'm very excited to be going to such a great team. I believe I now have as good a chance as any to win a Stanley Cup and there was no way I was going to pass this up. |
If that decision (to accept a trade) comes down to it, I'll have to make a decision. Obviously, if they came to me and wanted to unload me, it's going to be a situation where I'm going to have a chance to be in the playoffs and be with a team that's considered a top team - or one of them - and has a chance to win. |
In 2002 we came out like gangbusters for the whole tournament and then ran out of gas (losing 5-2 to Canada in the gold-medal game). |
It didn't feel great afterward, but that's the way it was my entire career in Edmonton. Guys stuck up for each other, and I was the next guy on the ice with him. Anybody would have, but I was the next guy on the ice. |
It makes me happy to go somewhere where they're ecstatic to get me. I want to be a part of that. |
It seems like we always have shootouts with these guys. |
It seems like whenever we play them it's 2-1, 3-2 and the goals are ugly. You just hope you're the ones getting the ugly goals. |
