After a tough streak like that, you're just hoping for something to happen.
I think we have a chance just like everybody else. There's no doubt in my mind we're going to have a playoff spot. I don't think it's a rebuilding year. No way.
It is awfully exhausting and devastating. This is sport and sometimes it simply does not work.
I think the Russians have the best team.
I think there's a difference between Ottawa and the Islanders right now.
I thought we were dominating from the first shift. Even when the score was tied after the first period, we were in their zone and we had a lot of scoring chances.
I thought we were dominating from the first shift.
I saw a lot of pictures but I don't understand it.
I said if I felt I can play, I was going to play, and I didn't hurt too much. Hopefully next game it will feel even better.
I said I didn't touch it and it wasn't my goal. Can you imagine if they would give it to me and after the game you guys would ask me the stupid questions over and over and over forever?
I said that if I could play, I was going to play. I didn't help much and hopefully the next game will be better.
I was lucky again, and you have to be lucky in this tournament. It was good to score because you never know what will happen in the final three minutes.
I want to win the Cup and I want to win the Cup in New York. My first two years, when I won the Cup in Pittsburgh, especially the first year, I was on the third or fourth line, and I wasn't really involved in the game, there was Mario and other veterans who carried the team and they kinda gave the Cup to me.
I will be far from the only one who will leave after this match (the third place play off against Russia which the Czechs won 3-0 on Saturday).
