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 New York Rangers don't have much experience in the playoffs the last years but the players are different. You have to forget about what happened the day before and think forward, never be too satisfied and never be too angry.
It's a big honor. Just look at all the players that played for the New York Rangers. Obviously, it's a big honor for me.
It was great for the New York fans and all the hockey fans. If you're a player like Mark and play so many years in the NHL and did so much for hockey he truly deserved it. He brought the Cup here to New York in 1994 and the people love him, so he deserved it.
I love to play for Pittsburgh. If they can't afford me, then I'd love to play in L.A. or New York.
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 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.
