I'm happy for him - the way he's playing, he truly deserves it,
If the pain lets me play a little bit, I'll be on the ice. That's what I can guarantee. I don't know when or how long it's gonna take. It's not easy, but it's done. I cannot take it back ... I'm hoping I can play in this series.
I was 90 percent sure we were going to make it. I'm glad. I got what I expected. I would be very upset if we didn't make it.
The fans were good. We didn't help too much.
I'm glad we had the year off. They forget. And this is a new team. They appreciate, I think, the way we play. And we appreciate them. If we're going to do something this season, we need the fans. When you see they're excited, there's nothing better.
I'm glad they did it because we can learn. Something might happen in the playoffs and we have to learn from that -- how to handle that.
I'm going to do everything I can to be back and help this team. We've got a day to figure out something. I'll do anything to play. You can bet on it.
In the U.S., you have so many rules, everything's regulated and structured. When you make a mistake, you pay for it -a lot.
In the K.H.L., you're even more patient at your position because the rink is so big, you cannot play that way.
In order to win games, your top line has to score. Some nights, it works for us, and tonight was one of those nights.
I just wanted to help him. He doesn't make that much money. I can help.
Hey, I don't know where I am going to shoot. How is he going to know?
Before, we just couldn't lose. Now, it looks like we just cannot win.
I'm not angry, I'm upset. I've got no answer for it. The last two games we lost to teams we should beat. We're having such a good year, we don't want to give it away.
