I got my advantage, other people got their advantage, ... I'm not that quick. But I'm 245 (pounds) and I'm not going to get tired that quick. I might not be good in the first, but I think I'm going to be good in the third.
I did what I had to do. Play as hard as I can until the last minute. I knew we weren't going to win the hockey game ... It might be a long series. Every shift can mean a lot later on.
I might be more excited than I was before the Olympics. Our goal is to make the playoffs, but we don't want to just make the playoffs for the first round and go home. I want to be in the best condition I've ever been in my life, to know when a crucial time comes, I'm ready.
We've got five months before the season starts. Hopefully, if there is any surgery it's not going to be complicated and I might start practicing next month.
Yeah. It might be the best league in the world besides the NHL.
We had a lot of chances. Sometimes it might look easy like tonight and other times it's really tough. That's just hockey.
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.
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.
It's not a good situation that we are in. Everybody knows how important these next four games are at home. It might be our season. That's the way I look at it. I thought we started playing better in the last two games. It's just that the results are not there.
There's a big chance I might be going to Moscow.
Old people, don't watch it because you might die just watching it.
When you have a three-or four-week break in the season, you're starting I would say from zero.
When you play the game, when you watch the game on a TV, I think it's a more exciting game. It's more skating, up-and-down hockey. For offensive players, you can get more scoring chances and shots. Plus, the offensive zone is a lot bigger and it is better on power plays.
We made a bad change and he shot from the side of the net. It happened. I took the risk on one side and they scored on the other side. It's hockey. But we shouldn't be in this position - 2-0 lead with 10 minutes to go, we shouldn't play overtime.
