bit coming guys ice played respect road room seemed tired
You have to respect those guys when they are on the ice and not give them too much room and we did that well tonight. They seemed a little bit tired coming off a big road trip, but we played well.
against career fun guy level shooting sure tough
You look at his career and what he's done, it's pretty unbelievable. Shooting against him every day has been a lot of fun for me, and he's going to be tough over there. I think he's a guy who can take it to another level, and I'm sure he'll be at that level in the Olympics.
thinking years guy
With the year off, I think most guys were excited to get going, but coming to Ottawa, a new place, made me even more excited.

I can't think about it too much. It's going to be a little strange to see some of the guys I used to play with. I'm going to go in there, deal with it and try to win the game. That's about all I can do.
chances fan guys might puck whoever
I'm a big fan of it. It might not be fair, but whoever is in the shootout are guys who can put the puck in the net, so chances are if there was a big goal, one of them might get it anyway.
drop florida forget game lost tough
We lost a tough one in Florida and we wanted to forget that. We have been able to forget them. We're going to drop a game now and then.
basically last reason talk talked
I've talked a lot about it for the last two years. I've basically said everything there is to say. That's the reason I don't feel that I need to talk about it anymore.
excitement fans great start supported
It was all excitement today. The fans were loud. We've got great fans who have supported me and have supported us through this whole thing. It was more excitement than anything at the start of the game.

There's so many great players on this team.
canadian expected game pressure tough
Every game is a tough game here. There is always pressure when you put on a Canadian jersey. You are expected to win.

We have a great team and feel we can win every game. When we do lose, that shouldn't happen. It's like we can only beat ourselves.
