When I play games I don't really care. Everyone is replaceable. I just tried to help the team.
We've got nothing to lose. We're almost dead. I said that if I could play, I was going to play. I didn't help much. Somehow we have to score goals.
The year off helped me a lot. I was able to play in the Czech Republic and Russia. You know, the same routine for 14 years, I'm not saying it was getting tiring, but it was mentally tiring, probably.
Sometimes I feel better than other nights. Even if I don't feel very good during the game, I know there's other guys who can help me get through that game. That's why I don't put too much pressure on me.
During practice, it's not good, but it's OK. It's going to take a while. Of course, you're weaker. It's understandable. The body is concentrating to help you, so you don't get too much energy. The legs are tired.
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 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.
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.
I just wanted to help him. He doesn't make that much money. I can help.
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 am not trying to look for any records. I wanted to help this team make the playoffs.
The fans were good. We didn't help too much.
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.
