It's a jungle out there. I don't know about these new rules.
It's OK. You can always get new teeth.
It's the perfect time to be hot. Everybody knows it's tough to face a hot team in the playoffs, and right now we're hot.
It's probably going to be my last Olympics, that's why it's a little more special. The national team always has been a happy place for me. I really like our chances. You never know what's going to happen, that's why the tournament is so special. The gap between the No. 1 and No. 5 team is pretty much nothing. You're talking about two weeks of time. Whoever is going to be hot is going to have a great chance to win.
It's tough. We were so close, and we played so good in the tournament.
Oh, there'll be a lot of drunk people there.
Everybody is working so hard and I've always said confidence is the key. I don't care who you are or what you do, you've got to have the confidence. This team is unbelievable right now. Every line is doing their job.
It wasn't the prettiest (win), but we did a lot of good things. Even when they were up two goals we never gave up.
It's awesome. The team is playing with so much confidence right now.
It's a little easier than it was maybe two or three years ago, but you still have to be good.
I think we have played like a playoff team for some time. We can still do better. The key thing right now is to look forward, not behind you.
We both should have three or four goals already this series but don't and we have to find a way to do it. As a goal scorer, it's important to get chances and we've got those. We're working hard. We just need one good game where we both get some damage done and get that scoring touch. Even if it goes off your (butt).
We know how much it takes, and nothing is going to come easy. We just have to find that effort and do better on special teams.
This schedule is unbelievable. I don't know what kind of Superman you have to be to stay healthy.
