He missed it. He went low and it hit my pad. |
He wanted us to have the best system we could, and I think he never really approved of what we took. |
He was a young guy from Montreal, like me. I idolized him because he came in (to the NHL) so young and he showed he could do the job. He made me see the possibility of doing it myself. |
He's a great player. He always seems to find a way (to score). |
He's a young guy. When you have the privilege of playing for the greatest hockey country, there are only so many players. It's not that he's not worth being there, it's just because he's in a situation that Team Canada has a new wave of young players. |
He's been always really good against us. I don't remember the last time (the Devils' scored five goals on Hasek). I'm sure we did it, but I'm not sure when. We had so many opportunities tonight early in the game and he still made some great saves. |
He's getting more and more responsibility. And you mature when you get those responsibilities. We're looking for him to bring some toughness and stability on our defense. |
He's just quick in everything he does. I think before, he didn't have an opportunity to get open because of his size and the clutching and grabbing. Now he's able to get in those areas where nobody can touch him. |
He's not the quickest guy out there. He does it with experience. And you can't buy experience. |
He's the icon of hockey. That's the bottom line. |
He's very feisty on the puck and he's always involved in the play, |
I could have stayed in. It was my choice. When the team is struggling, why be in there for the sake of being there? |
I couldn't wait to get water. |
I didn't think they played that great. They didn't show me that they are a desperate team. Their intensity was not as much as what we have to go through against the Rangers or the Flyers. |
I don't know what's going to happen. It's just a tough situation. It makes it hard to avoid the question for two weeks. It's tough for everybody. For us, what's done is done. You can't change it. It's just the way you react to it, the way you handle it that is going to make the difference. It's definitely something we wish we could avoid. |
