You're probably going to have one bad game like that in any tournament, and hopefully we got it out of the way.
I'll start off with a visor and we'll see, I hope I can use it for the rest of the year, ... But obviously I'm going to need it to protect the eye at the start here for a few weeks anyways.
I hope (Canadians) cheer for us. We'll take any support we can get. We're going to need it.
Hopefully I still have a few more good years in me, but it was a great ceremony and it's something I'll remember the rest of my life.
Why not? I hope it's going to help me the rest of my season, this tournament, and I hope the rest of the Maple Leafs here that are playing are going to enjoy it and come back with a fresh mind.
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.
When you played New Jersey before, it's been really tough to forecheck them because Martin is out there playing the puck every time you dump it in. Hopefully (now) you can put a little more pressure on them.
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.
I want to win the Stanley Cup, ... If we're going to bring in some older guys, they better be good, and if we are going to have some younger guys, we want them to be good, too, and become even better. I think it's a time and it's a franchise and a town where I don't think we can really sit back and rebuild. We have to go for it this year again, just the way we've been trying the last few years, and keep having good runs in the playoffs and hopefully get some more experience.
It feels all right. You have to constantly wipe off the water, but it's something you have to get used to, ... I'm going to have to wear it for the next three weeks, and hopefully I can keep it on for the remainder of the year.
Eddie certainly gave us a chance to win. In the second period he was awesome.
Things didn't really go our way but we found a way to get the two points.
I'm not sure if it was us that had that bad of a game, but we were on our heels the whole game, ... They were the better team, there's no doubt about it.
I learned to respect Daniel over the years. He's a fine player.
