He's gone home to deal with some family matters, |
He's had that type of season where he could warrant that position. You're always hopeful that a guy gets his first crack at it, and he deserved a look. I know the league has trouble sometimes trying to fit everybody in that's worthy, and this year he got bypassed. I don't think it put him down for long. He's like all of us -- you wish for that recognition when you do good work. And he's done good work. |
He's making a good case for himself, no question. |
He's one of the great goaltenders Canada has ever had. He didn't have a great start to the season but lately he's been on top of his game. He's a winner and the right guy to start. |
He's one of the great goaltenders in the worlds, and he's been a big part of the Czech team for a long time. I don't know how it changes it necessarily, but when it comes time to play for the Czechs, we'll prepare knowing someone else is going to be in net. |
He's probably the biggest reason they won gold in 1998, and he would have been the dark horse to carry them to gold again. |
He's showing a responsibility and an accountability that we were hoping we'd get, but you never know, and he's showing it right now. |
His history has been to miss some games. With his history, you wouldn't think it would be something like a wrist. |
Historically speaking, it doesn't happen too often. |
Historically, he hasn't produced a lot of points. |
Hopefully he won't miss any time. |
I am tired of watching other guys make plays right on our doorstep. We can't be giving gifts away. It is one thing to get beat, but another to beat yourself. |
I ask myself the same question. In both games in Montreal we had a good jump early and got deflated fast. We have had it and not been able to sustain it, but (Sunday night), we did. |
I believe that it comes from who you are and what you learn when you're younger, not necessarily just when you look down at what's on your chest. |
I believe the guys that we selected - and it's certainly arguable, there's going to be a lot of discussion - are the guys that we believe are going to be able to put us in that gold-medal circle at the end of the day. |
