Sergei Fedorov Quotations

The Red Wings have always had the big-name players. But Nashville is a good, young hockey team that plays very aggressively. They just have to forget about all those big names and focus on what they want to accomplish. They have to compete with whoever's on the ice.

No, I don?t look at the standings. I would know when we win 10 in a row. It?s not so much what (the standings) are worth and not worth, I just don?t want to get too excited before anything has happened. . . . I take sort of a different mental approach, to maintain focus, and just because I?m busy. Very busy.

Obviously, they (owners) don't want to have a season,

Nikolai and I understood each other and we were cycling the puck down low very well, ... I think we will be able to find each other and have the final touch to put the puck in the net.

I don't keep in touch with her and I'm not going to be dating anyone for a while.

Bryan told me that I'll be a key player in his team, and I'm looking forward to having a great season and bringing the Stanley Cup to Anaheim,

I feel that the most important thing is for me to continue to work towards being 100 percent healthy. My main priority and responsibility is to the Columbus Blue Jackets and I don't believe participating in the Olympics, which is a short, intense tournament, would be the best thing to do.

I can't really predict anything. I'd like to think day-to-day.

I don't think it is appropriate to delay my decision about the Olympics any further. As much as I would enjoy representing my country in Italy, I'm afraid that at this point in the season my focus has to remain with the Columbus Blue Jackets.

I think a goal is a goal. It was a dangerous situation for the defenseman.

We are basically working for next season, the last 20 games it's important for us to find the core chemistry of our team. This organization wants to make the playoffs.

We played a great first period and then we found a way to shoot ourselves in the foot again. We?re all guilty.

You go to the net and good things happen ? sometimes.

I still don't know what it was. I read only in magazines what was going on and I basically tried to break up.

I've scored two or three goals in my career off a skate, but not a game-winner like that.

I've mentioned a few times to Rick if you do that, you'll be unstoppable.

As far as offense, it worked out for us really, really well. It was good to see some individual effort from the guys who scored some goals especially the last one.

As far as offense, it worked out for us really, really well.

It was a good test for us tonight. We were a patient team, we stayed with the program, and we played well defensively.

I'm not as sharp as I'd like to be,

I remember that during the 1993-94 season, I was playing an average of 28 minutes a game, scored 120 points and was voted the league's MVP. That was my best season and now I want to duplicate it in Anaheim.

In that particular situation I already knew I had to bring the puck to the net. I guess good things happen once in a while.

I just met my new teammates and the trainers, ... I'm sure I'm going to ask them their names again tomorrow.

I didn't think twice about it; I just shot the puck and it went in.

I clearly remember my first experiences in this country without speaking a word of English, ... I certainly will try to help him. ... At times, it is a very lonely world.

The first 10 minutes was what I'm really used to doing. If we can get a few more of those we can put a good winning streak together.
