I got it with the paddle of my stick. I think he ran out of real estate. He's the one who scored that big goal against me (in the Olympics), so it was kind of nice to stop him. But it was not really a decisive save though.
If they had 30 Martin Brodeurs out there, that rule wouldn't be there; nobody would have voted for it, ... There are just too many teams that didn't have these goalies that were ready to make sure the guys that were affecting the games weren't able to do it anymore.
I feel good and I feel re-energized. That night off was good for me and I feel like I'm ready to go.
I'd love to know what it is so we can try to prevent it.
I don't know what's going to happen. It's just a tough situation. It makes it hard to avoid the question for two weeks. It's tough for everybody. For us, what's done is done. You can't change it. It's just the way you react to it, the way you handle it that is going to make the difference. It's definitely something we wish we could avoid.
I don't think you can call that a move. It's going to the net and letting the puck go. I don't think he touches the puck the whole way. I think it psyches the goalie out a little bit not knowing what he's going to do and not doing anything. He beat me with it a few times. It must work.
I don't think you can blame the new guys for the way we've been playing.
He lost the puck, which I think might have confused him. I certainly know it confused me.
He looks like he's not even trying out there and he just picks me apart every time, so it's definitely not a fun situation.
He missed it. (It went) low, hit my pad.
He missed it. He went low and it hit my pad.
We've been through a lot this year, so facing what's ahead I think everybody doesn't want to mess it up.
He's a young guy. When you have the privilege of playing for the greatest hockey country, there are only so many players. It's not that he's not worth being there, it's just because he's in a situation that Team Canada has a new wave of young players.
He had the bronze medal in my face all the time. And his wool jersey, because they played outside.
