We've been there a lot this year. We've fallen behind and climbed our way back, but it seems like one mistake we make and sometimes it costs us. |
When a goalie is off for that long, you expect he might be a little rusty. Early on, he was giving out a few more rebounds than normal. If we had jumped on a few on those, it might have been different. As the game wore on, he seemed to get more comfortable and he was pretty solid back there. |
When I first saw it, I was pretty sure it hit the back bar. He made a great shot, and I saw the referee right there, and I think he was pretty sure it went in, too. There wasn't much time where I thought it wasn't going to be a goal. |
When I got the bag off [the baggage-claim conveyor] belt in Buffalo, it was partially unzipped, ... I noticed it right away. |
When I watched the first game, it was tough because I think that was the time I realized it's probably going to be another four years before I had the opportunity. After that, I just became a fan. I was pulling for them and I wanted them to do well. It's unfortunate it didn't, but I said before Canada had a lot of expectations and they're not going to win gold every time. |
When we finally got going, we had them back on their heels. |
When you are playing from behind you start to panic sometimes and maybe take more penalties and you're not as confident. You don't want to make a mistake and give up that fourth one. |
When you don't gain momentum and you're in the box, it's tough. |
When you go through a time like we have, you go to basics. Get the puck at the net and play simple hockey, and try to get back (to winning) that way. |
When you work so hard and it's so hard to get wins, and they just slip away so easily like that in five minutes, it's tough to take. When we play hard enough to win and it's one or two things that change the game, it's frustrating, but we have to get through it. |
Who better to mould him than the greatest player ever. |
With Palffy and Gonchar, those are some real offensive players, ... It should be a fun team to watch, definitely. |
With the loss of Mario, there's a lot of leadership lost there so I think they want to step up and show that even more. They're experienced guys and they're trying to lead the way. |
Yes. You are right about that. |
You can't afford to go out there and watch too much, ... If you get caught watching, you're not going to get to the puck and not going to make good plays. |
