anybody game hit obviously stick within
I hit a guy. I didn't hit him with my knee. I don't think I did anything in the wrong. . . . I always look out for my own battles. If there's things that come within the game that they don't like, obviously I'll stick up for myself. I don't need anybody else to stick up for me.
consider dressing happens heat hopefully penalty until
It was in the heat of the moment. I didn't really know what the penalty was for until I got to the dressing room. It was one of those things that happens in a game. Hopefully they will consider that.

bit break bringing clubs dressing efforts good gotten guys healthy hockey job olympics provide room worried
I'm not one bit worried about our hockey team. I think we have the guys in our dressing room to get the job done. We've gotten more healthy over the break and we have some guys having some good efforts in the Olympics who can provide something to the lineup that they're bringing to their hockey clubs over there.
expect game hockey leaders net opportunity puck win
I'm disappointed because I had an opportunity to win the game for us. As one of the leaders on the hockey club, I expect myself to put the puck in the net when I get the opportunity.
glad swift
It was swift and they didn't let it linger, which was nice. I'm glad it's over. I'm indifferent. It's not up to me to decide, that's not my place.
