Fredrik Modin Quotations

When we are on and when we're playing well, everybody feels that confidence. But at times we have had problems staying with it. But we do have stretches when we pay attention to the details and play well and we have that confidence.

Obviously, our goalies are playing tremendous for us. They're a huge part of keeping us in the game. Our game, we've stepped it up a notch. We've been talking a lot about what to do and everybody knows what to do and when everybody sticks to the system, it's fun to play.

Obviously, if you ask anyone, as long as we're winning, I don't think anyone cares how we do it. Once again, it feels like we have to stand here and defend our loss.

I fanned on the shot, but got it up there. It hit the defenseman and went behind him somehow. It's nice when we get the bounces.

I don't think of it as eight games in 11 days or same thing with seven games in 11 days coming up; the only thing to do is look ahead at the game in front of you, whether it's one day or two days or no days, there's really nothing else that I think of. Obviously it's a lot of hockey, but this is what we want to do. It's fun.

I thought we came at them hard and did some good stuff and had momentum on our side. Then they just took it back.

It all can be fixed. Now we just have to go out and do it.

We've known it was coming, and we've prepared for that. You accept that. But obviously, you'd rather go into a break with wins instead of losses. So getting a win like we did tonight was really big.

We're not trying to do anything fancy. We're just chipping away.

There's been so much talk about the old guys of Swedish hockey. I'm glad to see Mats with that big smile on his face. He hasn't had many opportunities to celebrate like this.

It's early. It's Game 1. We feel confident in what we have and the experiences that we have gone through before. We don't feel like this is a new thing for us. We have been battling back the whole year. It's been that kind of year for us. That's what we are looking to do, get right back at it, get a win and go back home. Now more than ever it's one game at a time. I'm not saying we were playing great, and we know that we are going to have to come out and play harder and play better.

It's a big win. Points are important, and it was good to get two tonight.

It's a little bit of everything. It's a lot of small details we need to get fixed.

It just goes off my stick. The better thing would have been if I missed the whole thing, but it caught a little bit of my blade and went right to him.

It's great to come out with a good start. We had a real high energy. We got the puck in deep and managed to hold onto the puck in their end. That's how we've got to play.

It's part of the game. It's something that happens. Everybody is thinking about Dave the person, that's who we're looking after. It's sad to see, but it's part of the game and it's management's decision. We can't do anything about it other than move on. Obviously, we're going to miss having him around.

If you ask me if I'm disappointed about not being able to celebrate with my country, absolutely.

I don't know if this (streak) is any different this time around or not. How long this will last? I don't even know if we can think about that. Our focus has to be on what's going on right now. Right now we're playing well and the only concern we can have is our next game. We can't look beyond that. We won our last game, but that's over. All we can do is look ahead one game.

I don't see that as a problem. We know what we have to do when we come back. We've been preparing, I think, for this break since Day 1. We'll be ready to pick back up again when we return, and I think the team will be fresher.
