Maybe we are not good enough yet. Maybe we're not there. Maybe it shouldn't surprise anybody. I thought we played good 5-on-5; the power play and the penalty kill, that's where we made our mistakes. Could we have won the game? Yes. But we lost it. I don't think we are worse than they are. Maybe we're not as talented.
They didn't win it, we lost it. You've got to learn from that. You've got to finish those guys when you have the chance like we had.
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.
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.
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.
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 .
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.
First place is good for everybody. It's good for the owners, for the fans, for the players. It's always nice to play at home and not be traveling.
First off, it's going to be a different team than Pittsburgh was today. As long as we play the same way as we did today, we'll have a chance.
First of all, when I was making the decision, I never thought that Pittsburgh fans would want me back. Every time I played there, they were booing me every time I touched the puck. I didn't think it would be such a big deal that I didn't sign with Pittsburgh.
