I'm a firm believer in second chances, and if we're going to go through life not giving anyone second chances, what kind of life are we going to have? People make mistakes in life. Unfortunately, I was under the microscope and on TV when my mistake happened, and if I'm going to sit here and keep getting ridiculed about it, how are we ever going to give someone a second chance to become better or to change situations? |
I'm coming out to play hockey the way we play hockey and the score is the only thing that really matters, and that's what we're focused on. |
I'm getting a little bit more puck luck, |
I'm looking forward to it. It's something I have been looking at for the past year. It was nice to be put on the team and nice to accomplish something. |
I'm pretty strong mentally and I know what I have to do on the ice, and I'll let everything else fall where it may fall. I'm well prepared. |
I've always enjoyed his [Richards] skill and what he brings out there. |
I've always felt unbelievable on the big ice. You get a lot more space and a lot more opportunity to be creative and do things out there. |
I've discussed it before, and this team is moving on and I'm moving on and we're just concentrating on the game tomorrow and the two points we need. It's a team we've always had spirited rivalries with. They're exciting games to play in. |
I've made my attempts and am still going to try, but I can't change someone else's mind-set on me. |
I've played my best hockey in Vancouver and the fans have been a big part of that, ... We have had some success but I feel as a team our best is still yet to come. I am excited about this team and look forward to getting back on the ice with my teammates in front of our fans. |
If I could [explain it ] I wouldn't be here, ... Trust me, I've been off for a long time and had a lot of sleepless nights trying to think of things but you know what? It happened. I can't go back and change what happened. The only thing I can do is come back even stronger, a better person off the ice and a better person on the ice. |
In the 13 minutes I was on, I felt very, very good. It's a game I could've really done some damage. |
It has been a long year already. It's something I have to deal with. It has nothing to do with (the Olympics). |
It is what it is, |
It is what it is. What am I going to do about it? |
