He finished strong; he really finished strong. |
He gives is a chance to win every night. He made some great saves on their 5-on-3 (during the final minute of the second period and first minute of the third. |
He had such a good reads. He would give a person ice and then just take it away. All the passes he used to intercept, he would give that pass and then he'd take it away. That's a real knack in itself. |
He has to learn his to use his size better. He's not a big guy, so a lot of his moves have to be further out from the opposition. If he's in too tight, he can't get away from a guy and they can just use body position on him. |
He looked really fresh out there the way he was skating. I think he's glad to be back here and get into a normal routine. |
He made a couple of key saves tonight. He had a very strong game. He was very efficient in his net. He had a lot of good, short, direct moves and was able to make the second saves. |
He made some saves when they had their 5-on-3 that were tremendous. He gave us a point here tonight. |
He makes such a big difference. Even though he might not produce goal-wise, he really helps our lineup an awful lot because he's such a dangerous player and draws so much attention. |
He might be one of the most skilled players to ever play the game. He could skate, he could beat you one-on-one, he could beat you with a pass, he could beat you with a shot. He was a complete, all-around player. |
He played terrific. We had all kinds of chances in the second and third. |
He played very well in the tournament and was a big part of the tournament. That doesn't happen very often when you get to win a gold medal in the Olympics. |
He put so much on his shoulders he was drained when game time came. His play dictated what kind of leader he is. It's going to be a big loss for us. |
He stepped in and he was the difference. He protected that lead for us. |
He wants to skate tomorrow and get back on the ice, just see how it responds. It's a deep bone bruise and you've just got to go day to day on it. We're hoping if he doesn't play the first two (games), which are back to back, he'll be all right for Vancouver. |
He will have the opportunity to get good ice time. His role might be more than with some other teams. And put in that situation, I think he'll play well. I expect a real good year number-wise. |
