I didn't think they played that great. They didn't show me that they are a desperate team. Their intensity was not as much as what we have to go through against the Rangers or the Flyers.
We're not kids. At least we're informed of the possibilities.
We just have to move on and try to get better.
We didn't give them our best game, that's for sure. We turned the puck over, made a lot of mistakes. (But) Rick played tremendous. He made the saves when he needed too.
We don't always do it. When we make a big point of doing it, the success always comes.
The progress that I've made in two days has been tremendous, ... I think one week at the most and I'll be ready to go.
When you have a guy everyone expects to produce you just wait for him to explode. We can't forget about him.
We knew time was on our side when there were disappointing times. But we've turned it around and this was really rewarding.
We're trying to survive and get in the playoffs, so these wins are huge.
We didn't play the way we've been playing, but give them credit. They played well. They didn't take bad penalties.
Goalies that like to react to pucks won't have a problem. Those goalies that block shots instead of stopping shots, will find it's going to be a little tougher for them, especially in close.
He's a young guy. When you have the privilege of playing for the greatest hockey country, there are only so many players. It's not that he's not worth being there, it's just because he's in a situation that Team Canada has a new wave of young players.
We are definitely expected to win but we had to do it the way we did it. The way we did it was the thing everybody was happy about. It was not just skimming a victory out of a shootout or something like that. This was a good effort and it's been a while since we had one like that.
When he hit me, I didn't really feel the stick more than my legs going down under me. You've got to be careful with your stick, bottom line. Accident or not, he's responsible for his stick.
