definitely division later looking playing point points record teams
Right now, we don't look at the division. We're looking more at our conference, where we stand. Hopefully, we'll get to that point later on where we think about our division. But, if you look, our record in our division is not that good. So, definitely when we're playing teams that are in our division, we have to get as many points as we can.
felt happy hurt months playing team
It felt long, ... Not playing is one thing, but not being with the guys. I was out of it for 18 months with the lockout and now I'm so happy to get back. When you're hurt -- I'd never really experienced it before -- you're not part of a team too much.
great perfect playing
Perfect is a big word. But we're playing great hockey.
against business care certainly challenge facing fortunate forward great ice looked playing took
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.
against happy playing points rest rivalry taking
It's a rivalry and they're playing hard. We're not happy they're not doing well against the rest of the league. They're taking points away from us.
break match playing road
A break here and there made the difference. We wanted to match the way we play on the road with the way we have been playing at home.
defense hockey ice people playing position red relying similar somewhat
There's a lot of defense to our games. I think we're able to play somewhat of a trap. We are able to funnel people on the ice to where we want them to be, to where we think we will be able to defend. It's similar to a trap, but we are playing it a little differently than before because there is no red line. We are relying more on position hockey than anything.
against changing learning left passive players playing process rivals teams week
Defensively we're going to have a lot of size. It should be interesting to see - I think it's going to be a learning process - learn to play with each other, learn to play with the new rules, learn to play against other teams. There's all new teams everywhere, they haven't been passive and have been changing players left and right. For the first week it be interesting to see how we play against our traditional rivals because we're going to be playing them a lot.
definitely everybody far game pinpoint playing price sharp
I think we're definitely not sharp as far as my game and everybody defensively. I think it's a combination of a lot of things why defensively you're not successful. I don't think you can pinpoint it to one person. As a group, we're just not sharp and have been playing the price a lot.
answer asking brush compete funny great highest highlight lives move olympics opportunity people playing standard time waste
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.
against aside best bringing definitely guys hockey players playing
I think ... we're going to put this aside for two weeks, playing hockey against the best players in the world. I think definitely the distraction is you guys bringing it up to us because we don't bring it up to each other at all.
canada country greatest hockey playing privilege situation team wave worth
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.
against game step took trying winning
We are trying to get better every game. We took a step by winning an important game against a big rival.
excited flow good guys rules shut
The rules are there and there is a lot more flow to the game. If we are able to play this way and not take a lot of penalties, you'll see this more and more from our team. It's not just me. All the guys are excited that we are able to shut down good teams.
