After the last game, you just want to get in there again and win. I like to play in this building. |
After the shot he was behind me, but just before the shot he was interfering with me. I couldn't move. I thought it was a good call. |
After we came back, we had our ups and downs. I don't know the reason. |
After we scored the third goal, it felt like we had the game. We were confident. But when we take those penalties, it's hard. Four minutes of penalties in the overtime, it's too much. |
All the guys know we have to play our best game. At the same time, I don't think many people expected us to beat New Jersey. So it's more pressure when you play games when you're the favorite. |
Almost hard to believe. It felt great in the locker room and we had a lot of energy. |
Back in Sweden, I tried to be aggressive, be far out of the net all the time, |
Because we took so many penalties, it was hard for our first line to be on the ice. It was like they were waiting for the power play. I'm just looking forward to just stay away from hockey for a couple days. |
Benny has helped me adjust to a different type of hockey. There are so many small things in the game, and he shows you how to handle all the situations ? how to keep your body square, how to locate players, how to read passes. |
Every tournament we played in (since the last Olympics) felt like we had to make up for something. I think it's good that we're going to be over here (playing in North America) and we don't see the papers back home. I don't know what they are writing, but I know they are talking a lot about the history and they really want the best for the nation now. We've got a good team. We have a big shot (at the Olympics), but as I said, there are a lot of good nations out there. |
First of all, it's great to have my first win in the N.H.L.; I've been waiting for this day for so long, ... And to get a win against New Jersey and against Martin, it's extra special. |
For whatever reason, I felt I struggled in the first half Wednesday night, ... But I felt good in the second half, and I felt good tonight. I had a good morning skate and got some sleep. |
He had me. I was gone and I just got my glove there, |
He just came up and started to talk to me. I got slashed on my hand and that's why I was a little bit upset. It didn't bother me that I got tripped. It was the slash that bothered me. |
He talked to both of us and said the guy who's winning, who's playing good, is the guy who's going to play. I don't know if I'm playing Thursday because I lost the last two games in overtime. My game feels pretty good, but still I've got to win. |
