That's no fun to miss the playoffs, ... The World Championships was great, but you want to play in the playoffs. That's why you play the 82 games, so to go home early is no fun. Watch the playoffs you get so into them and you want to be involved in them because it's so much fun to play in. To not be able to play in the postseason is really tough to take.
That's fine. We're fortunate we can all play with everybody and expect success. I haven't exactly been tearing it up, so however I can help is going to be what I do.
You never want to say, 'This one's for him,' because nothing compares to that, but it's a good way to go home. We're finding ways to win games again.
Obviously you want to be on the team but there's at least 100 Canadian players that could easily be on that team. The group making the selections will have a tough decision on a lot of guys.
I was so excited and so honored to be named part of the team, and for that to happen, it blows my mind. I've done absolutely nothing (wrong), and I've had to defend myself through all of Canada.
It's encouraging that we're going in the right direction, but the goal is to make the playoffs. We're getting close.
It's pretty nice. It's kind of the old style. Hockey has a lot of tradition so I think it's good to have kind of the old-school look.
It's a big thing we've been preaching pucks and people to the net and we finally got one to go in,

I haven't really thought that much about it. It's nice down here (in Phoenix). You don't hear that much about it hockey-wise.
He's an emotional guy. You can get under his skin and think maybe you can throw off his game. I think it works the opposite. I think it fires him up more, and he's got that fire that's pretty intense.
We can't stress enough the specialty teams and how important they are. If you want to win in the league now you have to have a good power play and then that's going to make it a lot easier.
When you get a chance to play with him you know it's going to be creative, it's going to be fun. Nothing is better than that when you play hockey.
When we play as a team with five men, we're solid. It's when we get trying to do individual stuff that we really struggle.
