I was a little worried before the game about how it was going to go, but it went better than I thought,
I think they're on top of the game, they're on the cutting edge of technology in terms of our fitness.
He's been playing great all year. He certainly deserved to be in the All-Star Game. He should've been there, but he didn't get a chance to go. He's certainly been one of our best players all year. I think he's proven the last few years that he's one of the best defensemen in the league and he certainly deserved to go this year.

Overall I didn't think our line had the best game,
Our only focus from now on is to turn this thing around. We have to get back to playing the way we did. The way we're playing right now, it hasn't even been two weeks. Before that we were playing really good hockey and we could beat any team in the league. We have to climb back to that, and it's going to take all of us in the dressing room. We can't look at the standings right now.
For us older players probably playing our last Olympics, it was great to put it all together.
Goal scoring hasn't been there this year for me. I don't know why, but tonight, everything seemed to work. I hope to keep it up for the stretch.
If that guy is No. 5, I'd like to see the first four.
He has learned a lot playing behind Eddie. He has learned a lot about preparing for games and being the kind of pro Eddie is. Eddie is still No. 1.
He is probably the most talented player I've ever played with.
We just have to get away from that - doing the mistakes that we're doing. We've got to simplify our game and get back on track.
At times, we kind of dipped (team conditioning) after Christmas, so this should help us as players so that we don't have to struggle with something like that in the future.
That's exactly what you try to do on the power play - put the puck on the net.
