I think they have to experience that. Even though it's an important game, it's nothing like the playoffs. You have to go through that. I don't think it's necessary to say anything.
I think they feel that way. To beat us is probably more important to them than to win the gold. I don't think it's helping them. You have to have a clear head and not be too motivated.
I think the whole league has changed. There are a lot of guys changing teams. It's going to be a different league than ever before.
He's been the best goalie in the league for such a long time, for the last 10 years maybe. Plus, he looks like he even gets better as the games get tougher. We have to shoot the puck and hope for the best, hope that he's going to have a bad game. We just have to hope.
He should be the guy. He has helped San Jose. It's all a matter if they're going to make the playoffs or not.
He should be the guy. He has helped San Jose.
Hopefully we have good trainers who can get him back.
The Rangers could spend $80 million before, now they cannot do it, ... Every time they make a move, it's got to be a good move and make sense. Before, because we could spend money here in New York, you had to get somebody to satisfy the fans and sometimes too much is not good. You need a lot of hard-working guys and every superstar needs their ice time to be that superstar. If you've got so many of them, somebody is going to get left behind.
When they're calling everything, you have to be smarter. It seems like every time we lose, it's because we've screwed up and we make stupid plays.
If something would have happened (in terms of a Russian comeback), I think I would have been able to go.
I always had more assists than goals, ... It's just this year I look like a goal scorer.
He won the Cup here. Once you do that, your place in history has to be guaranteed.
He was my idol since I was 15-years old. I had a chance to see him every day and learn a lot from him. Like my first goal today, I learned that from Mario. He scored a lot of them like that.
Somehow we have to score goals. We aren't able to score goals. Any mistake we made, they scored. We gave them two odd man rushes, and they scored on both of them.
