We're trying to survive and get in the playoffs, so these wins are huge.
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.
It's mind boggling. You're thinking about it and you are shaking your head saying, 'How did we do this?' We don't say there are 11 games left, let's win them all. We needed a lot of help from everybody but we still needed to win 11 games. I think it's amazing.
It's not hard to get up for, that's for sure. Times have changed a lot. Our fans were going to New York and it's not as scary as it used to be. But it will be a great battle. Two good teams are going at it.
For him, it's definitely a black eye that's going to stay with him and it's unfortunate. It shouldn't be like that, but that's just the way it is. ... It's an unfortunate situation, but everybody is responsible for what they put in their body.
For a lot of people, going to the Olympics is a once-in-a-lifetime chance. For me, it's my third one. You never know when it's going to be the last, so I want to enjoy this thing as much as I can.
The number of penalties was one of the breaks of the game. Key guys were on the ice for a long time, and they were starting to run out of juice. We have to be more conscious of penalties on the second night of back-to-back games.
It's the accountability he brings to the table. Knowing that the boss is there, when you're getting off a shift or getting ready for a shift, puts everybody in the right frame of mind. Not everybody is wandering off.
It was an okay game. I know in (this round) people expect us to walk through everybody, and I guess we did to a certain extent in the second period, but we had a pretty good vibe, did well on the power-play.
It was nice to have home ice advantage against these guys and we took advantage of it. The guys played well offensively, we buried some great opportunities and special teams again was a big factor. We put ourselves in a great position but we've got to make the best out of it.
It was a good experience for me just to meet him. He's a real gentleman, a nice guy. There's not a bad thing I could say about the guy.
It was a great challenge playing against him. I really looked forward to facing him and was fortunate to be able to play with him internationally. He took care of business on and off the ice and certainly will be missed.
It was a big concern of ours to play well defensively tonight. Beating the top two teams in our conference, there are a lot of positives we can take from that.
It was probably between my legs. I don't think it was in my lap. I never had it.
