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.
If you want to hear I give up, no, I didn't. I still believe, and I'm always going to believe until it's done. You never know, it's a strange game.
If you want to win the hockey games you have to make sure you score on the power play and make sure they don't score on the power play. We knew special teams were gonna be huge.
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.
The chemistry on the team is great, and so far it's been fun for everybody here.
All we needed was one victory or one point and we couldn't do it. You know, for whatever reason, hopefully we can forget everything that happened the last two weeks and move on.
All we needed was one victory or one point and we couldn't do it.
The games to me is practice. I don't need days off. I know my body very well. If I need a day off, I'll skip the morning skate.
You could say it if you want to use that excuse. We lost the hockey game. We didn't play well enough to win it. We didn't deserve to win it.
You can't win with one goal. That's the bottom line. The way we played was not good.
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.
