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.
It doesn't matter. We have to get ready for the next game whether I play or not.
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.
We have to keep the next game close. We have to be able to score and not make any mistakes. We have to try to get one win and then you never know. Anything is possible. We have nothing to lose. We are almost dead.
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.
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.
We're fighting for first place in our division, so it's huge.

Many European guys go to the N.H.L. at a young age, even without knowing English. But they quickly adapt to new conditions, another game, a new country. They are also young, receptive, can move mountains.
It doesn't matter. We just have to face Sweden.
It doesn't matter. I'm gonna try everything I can to be back ... (but) we can do it (without me).
I want to win the Cup and I want to win the Cup in New York. My first two years, when I won the Cup in Pittsburgh, especially the first year, I was on the third or fourth line, and I wasn't really involved in the game, there was Mario and other veterans who carried the team and they kinda gave the Cup to me.
