hard highest move played puck scoring seen teams time work
It was the first time I had seen them. They work hard and move the puck pretty well. They have one of the highest scoring teams so I know you can't give them too much. I thought we played well for 50 minutes.
almost athlete chance great honor olympic patriotic
It's a great chance for an athlete to be in an Olympic Games, and its an honor to play for your country. I'm not back often; you almost get more patriotic because you don't live in Switzerland.
again anxious compete couple waiting work
I've been waiting to play now for a couple of weeks. I'm anxious to play again and anxious to compete and work myself out of it.
good team
It would be good to be 6-1 (against Minnesota). It's a hard-working team over there, and they did what they had to do.
everybody step time
This is the time you are going to see the Czechs, the U.S. and everybody step it up.
chant name nicer
It's nicer to have them chant your name than to do the opposite.
advantage bodies front good happy hard moving period worked
A six-on-four is never easy. There's so many bodies in front of the net. I feel pretty good the way I'm moving right now. I worked hard on it during the period where I didn't play much, so I'm happy that I could take advantage of that time.
It wasn't pretty. But it was two points.
tried
I tried to go get (the puck), and it jumped over my stick, and I couldn't play it where it landed.
careful great hockey swiss
It's great for Swiss hockey that we won. We have to be careful because it's one game.
chances good help job pressure team tonight
They had some good chances in the first period, but I made some pretty good saves. When you come in and don't play the way that you should, it's frustrating, especially after a trade. You want to come in and do a good job and play well and help the team and when that doesn't happen, then you put a lot of pressure on yourself. It was good tonight to get two points.
confidence team
There's a lot of confidence in the whole team and we never know who we're going to play in the playoffs.
behind decent fast game good played until
I should have had it. There's not much you can do. I put it behind me pretty fast and that was a good thing. I didn't play a good game until the end, but I think I played a decent game after that goal.
brand consistency consistent equipment pads problem saw wider
The thing I have the most problem with is consistency. We saw it already. The equipment isn't consistent from brand to brand and from goaltender to goaltender. I would like to see that changed. Some pads were wider than others.
