You always get a little extra time once you get the puck. There's a reason why Forsberg is arguably the best player in the world. He draws a lot of attention.
Today we played our best game so far, and if we can play like this, we'll have a good chance on Sunday.
We were flat and looked disorganized out there. To be able to come back and win is huge. You're going to win some games ugly and we did. We'll take the two points but we realize we didn't have our best game.
Winning Olympic gold against the best players in the world is certainly my greatest moment in my hockey career. But hopefully I can get into the Stanley Cup Finals with Toronto, too.
It should be (on a stamp). It's the first time we have won a tournament against the best in the world and that shot should probably go into the history books.
That shot is going into the history books and it's fitting he scored it because he's probably been our best player through the whole tournament.
I think that we probably had our best first period. We've had so many ifs and buts in this tournament and we have not had strong starts, so today we focused on trying to get an early lead.
I think that we probably had our best first period out there today. We've had so many ifs and buts in this tournament...and it was fortunate that we were able to do that.
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,
He's one of the best players to ever play the game and arguably the best leader ever in the game.
A huge win for us, obviously. Last goal, it was great to see it go in. We didn't have our best game and things did not really go our way, but we found a way to battle. If we go into Boston and win, anything can happen.
We were ready to play, there's no doubt about that. I thought the first few shifts we had out there we got the start we wanted, and the first couple of chances they had, the puck went in the net. Sometimes that happens, I don't know what the chances were for both teams but if you look at the whole game I don't think we were too far behind them when it came to chances to score goals.
