Anybody would want to know what their future is ... we'll just see what happens. I'm anxious to sit down ... depending on which direction they want to go in. If it's move forward with me being a part of it, then I'm excited to go there and sit down and talk about the future. |
Based on what happened [against Latvia], we had to win tonight. |
He treats everybody like men, and gets the most out of his players. |
He was good, but we had chances ... not in the first (period), but in the second in the third. But with this lineup, we've got to play extremely hard every single shift. |
He's a competitor, I'll tell you that much. He wants to win; he's been with the Rangers and he demands a lot. |
He's probably the best American ever to play wearing a (U.S.) jersey. |
Hopefully next week I'll be ready to go. I want to play as soon as I can. It's getting better, but it's still a little ways off. I want to definitely get some games in with the Olympics coming up. |
I don't know what's going to happen here. I'm not the general manager . . . I'm not the owner. I'm just a player that has to do his job to help his team win and whatever happens, happens. We as players can only control one thing: how we perform on the ice. We need more guys worried about that than worried about other things right now. That's probably (why the Blues are in) the situation we're in right now, because people worry about that. |
I don't look forward to meetings, but at least tomorrow will determine my future. I haven't even talked once with my agent about it. Any time you have a meeting like that I don't get too optimistic, so we'll see what happens. I'd like to come back. |
I don't want to say how old I was when I started watching Bourque, because it might offend him. |
I feel I have a lot of hockey left. |
I had no idea. We just want to win because we love to win. |
I just wanted to give him support. I told him that he's a tremendous person and don't forget that. I just wished him all the best and said that we're thinking of him. The whole NHL, not only myself, but my team and everybody else is thinking about him. I feel for him and wish him all the best for the future. |
I think the young guys expect us to go out and lead by example. I think tonight was a great example of that. |
I think what happened in the third period against Latvia carried over. We just skated to the puck and controlled the game. We pinned them in their own zone; we were buzzing pretty good out there. |
