He's definitely playing with a lot more passion than a couple years ago.
We don't want to go into the playoffs the way we played (Tuesday). We want to go with a good feeling and confidence. Pittsburgh is a huge game because they've been playing well. Philadelphia is just a crucial game. I think that whoever does win will play at home (in the first round).
It's tough playing all those games in the NHL and then here. It was easier in Nagano and Salt Lake (only three preliminary-round games). Maybe that's something everybody should think about for next time, give us a couple of more days off.
He's awesome. He's a big part of the team and when he's playing, he's playing well. He's a leader and a great guy in the locker room, helping the other guys. He's funny on the bench during games. I like to sit next to him.
Today isn't a nice day for us. We lost playing against a team that played very well from the beginning. They skated so fast. We had some chances in the second period, but they won.
I think this is what we get paid for. Thank God we've been playing well lately and hopefully we'll win a couple more games.
