against best certainly cup finals gold greatest hockey hopefully moment olympic players stanley winning
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.
answers games happy hockey league looking national playing time tonight win
It's frustrating. Any time you lose, you're looking for answers and you want to be better and you're not happy but it's the National Hockey League and when you're not playing up to your ability, you're not going to win a lot of hockey games and tonight was one of those nights.
area became bigger built clear early heads hockey knock people several style team toronto
There's a bigger area from which to attack, ... I was one of the proponents of this kind of hockey several years ago. We built our early team in Toronto around that. But it became clear (the league) didn't want style and speed, they wanted people who could knock heads off.
believe direction good hockey losing playoffs season team
This is a two-week direction (the losing skid) and we still have a long season to go. I believe we have a good enough hockey team to make it to the playoffs and I believe we're going to make it.
game good halfway hockey played scoreboard
I thought we played a pretty good hockey game tonight. I thought we were the better team. We were outplaying them halfway through the game, and you look up at the scoreboard and it's 3-0 (for New York).
beat climb dressing focus good hockey playing team turn
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.
coming felt game hockey league played time win
I haven't played a league game in a long, long time but it felt better than I thought it would, ... You just want to win the hockey game when you're coming back.
behind both came chances couple doubt far few game puck ready score start teams
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.
followed four games good played puck score season stuff wherever wish
I've probably played better games this season and come out with no points. Don't get me wrong, I played a good game, but the puck followed me wherever I went. I wish I could say that I said before the game that I would score four goals, but that kind of stuff just doesn't happen.
full game last nice season
It would be nice for the last game of the season at least to have our full lineup.
golf missed played playing sick traveling
I've been back and forth, traveling a lot, nothing too exciting. I played too much golf, I'm sick of that. . . . I missed playing hockey.
help last puck stake sure three
There's so much at stake for us. We have to make sure to help out and keep the puck out of our net. We've done that a lot better the last three games.
athlete chance fortunate good medals olympics tremendous
There's a good chance this will be my last. But I feel very fortunate to have a chance to play for medals in this tournament. For any athlete having a chance to be at an Olympics is such a tremendous opportunity.
beat concern games january teams
There's so many games left, our only concern is our own play. We know we can play better than we did in January (3-9-2) and we can beat the teams we need to beat to make it in (the playoffs).
