We've talked about things that have happened here in the past. When you get on a run it's pretty amazing what can happen. You saw what happened a couple of years ago when we got points in something like 22 of our last 23 games.

He's played on two world junior teams already, ... I certainly would expect if Sidney Crosby was here at Christmas we would be bringing him on our hockey team.

He's a heart and soul guy and when you have a team that is perhaps lacking some experience at the national level, which obviously we are, you need a real strong character and real strong person mentally that's totally committed to the way we want to play. He's probably a huge reflection of myself.

I just like his mindset, his attitude. Nothing seems to bother him and he's a got a little strut that goes with it.
drafted impressive man saw seen surprised time
I haven't seen anything that's surprised me, ... I saw him a lot before we drafted him. He's an impressive young man and an impressive young player. He's got a long way to go, but he's going to play in the NHL for a long time one day.

I have to disagree with the Russian coach. We would not have changed our game plan if the Russians had scored one goal.

I never questioned whether we could score enough goals or not. My biggest thing from the get-go was: Can we be a solid enough team defensively to shut down our opposition?

I never questioned that he'd do it. I'd seen him so many times this year do it and Justin was the guy everybody fed off.

I'm not worried at all about our intensity and emotional level.
