I've been on some hot streak lately. Hopefully, I can play the same way in the Olympics, but hopefully I can play even better when I come back after the Olympics. I go to represent my country, but my job is to play good for the New York Rangers .
Maybe for some guys it would take a month, hopefully my body is different and heals quick. I'll have to pray a lot and hope for miracles. If the pain lets me play a little bit, I'll be on the ice the first chance I have.
It's an honor. And hopefully I'm going to score a lot more. I don't want to stop at 50.
They're hot and it's always great to play your best hockey before the playoffs. But it's going to stop somewhere, you know? Nothing lasts forever and hopefully we can stop them. But it's not going to be easy.
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 that if I could play, I was going to play. I didn't help much and hopefully the next game will be better.
Hopefully we have good trainers who can get him back.
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.
It would take a miracle (to play). It's feeling better, but there's too much pain.
It was very special for me. I had so much time to look around and put the puck where I wanted to.
I've been playing with Marty for a long time. He knows where I'm going to be and I know where to look for him.
The way I saw it from the outside, there was always pressure on the New York Rangers, for the GM to make moves. It was kind of ... necessary,
The way I look at it, home-ice advantage or no home-ice advantage, if we're going to play like that in the playoffs, we're going to lose anyway.
The way I feel right now, he may have a day off tomorrow. He will have an easy day. But that's okay. I might be back next week.
