This is going to be such a huge event for my family, my friends. It's going to be such a fun experience. My dad won a bronze in 1956 and now, 50 years later, going back to the same country, I'm going to try and win a medal as well.
It was fun to play the game again. It's going to be the same for every team. Everybody is in the same boat. It's like riding a bicycle, you go back to it and it's like you never left it.
I think it's funny that we have to answer these things (about Gretzky). After all, the highlight of our lives is playing in the Olympics right now. It's a great opportunity to compete at the highest standard of hockey. So for people to waste their time asking these questions, we just brush them off and move on.
He looks like he's not even trying out there and he just picks me apart every time, so it's definitely not a fun situation.
I'm sure it's not where everybody thought we'd be. Hopefully, the suicide game will be good for us. A lot of times it brings out the best in players. We need these players to step up and get us through the next game.
Everybody is pressing a little too much and we're not letting the play come to us. We're trying to make the play before it happens.
It was kind of a fluke goal on Satan, losing the puck like that. It confused him and confused me a lot.
These teams were ready for us. Nobody wanted to give us a break. All tournament long, it didn't matter what team we play, they give us their A game. It's really disappointing.
I'm real happy, very excited. It's a great opportunity for me to end my career here and stay close to my kids. That was my huge concern going forward with the new league.
I'm not worried about it too much. We'll see how everything goes. They have the option of keeping me or redoing the deal with me. I'm probably going to wait until they do something.
I'm not worried about it. It's not something I need to have right now.
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.
