The team decided after one month after I came here they were going to sell everybody. After the trade deadline, there were only two players left on the team from when I came here.
He stole my goal. I'm going to kick him out of the apartment.
He's scared to go back again, that's why he's playing good. They told him if he goes three games without a goal, they're going to send him back.
I don't really care how we done it, we done it.
Hopefully, I can keep playing like this in the Olympics. And hopefully, I can be even better for the Rangers after the break.
Hopefully, my most important goal is going to come later in the season.
Any win is a good win, especially when you lose three straight at home. I was a little scared. In every game, we had a lead or were tied in the third period and just blew it. Three straight games. Mistakes after mistakes. We had to stop doing that.
I know him, and he's a big part of our hockey club and it's going to be a big challenge.
I haven't looked at the stats the last four years because I wasn't up there. That's why I didn't look at it.
In international competition, you're facing the best players on every line. I think the Olympics is tougher for the goalie. I've got a lot of confidence in the way he plays. This is the least concern in my mind right now.
I'm wearing my Rangers gloves. That's the team that got me there.
I'm taking the blame. Our line should score more, that's for sure. When we were winning we were able to score two, three goals a game. Our line has to find a way. When you take those two goals away, you're losing by a goal.
I'm not thinking about it at all. Maybe because I'm older, I look at it differently than if I were younger. I don't think worrying too much about it before is going to help you. I don't even think I'll think about it when the Games start. It's when the important Games start.
I'm not the first guy they booed and I won't be the last. It makes me feel a lot better when I score a goal and we win the game.
