Christian Backman Quotations

It proves we're hard to beat right now.

It was just crazy. People were out in the streets waving and screaming.

They did a good job. That's important to keep the players together. I think without the right chemistry on the team, you can't have success. It's always harder when you're losing to stay together, but I think we just got better and better.

It's tough . . . he was standing up for me. It's too bad. We need him.

Our video guy said they should have counted the first one, too, because their guy pushed our guy into their goalie. I don't know if I've ever scored a goal that didn't count, but here I almost had two . I'm happy I got one at least.

I guess there will be some changes, but I think we've got a good future here, so that's something to be happy about.

We kind of knew this was coming. The last two games we played really well and we deserved better.

There were a lot of older guys on our team and I grew up watching them. Suddenly I was there playing with them as one of 20 guys on the team, it was crazy.

I don't even know what I was thinking. I just threw all my stuff up and skated around on the ice. When I got the gold medal around my neck, it was hard to hold back your tears.
