-
Beginning Quotes
Today is a new beginning for me and my family. There's no way I can change what happened in the past, but I'm going to do what I can to make sure my career and my life aren't defined by what happened on March 8, but rather by what I did before and, most importantly, what I do after.
-
Behind Quotes
I think it's great for the game when you get those kind of players going behind the bench who know the game, know the right way it's meant to be played. Especially with the way hockey is going right now, I think it's exciting and hopefully there are more guys who will step behind (the bench) and continue to do that.
-
Bad Quotes
That was a lot of fun and that's something we need to start getting into this dressing room a little more. When you go through bad spells, which obviously is going to happen in a season, you have to be able to shake it off, laugh about it and move forward. When this team is relaxed and confident, that's when we play our best.
-
Dealt Quotes
You know what, I discussed all this and dealt with a lot of it back in Vancouver. And that's something that I don't want and I don't need to drag over here for this tournament. This team isn't a part of that, I'm the one that's part of it and I'll deal with everything when I get back home.
-
Fighting Quotes
They are a lot better team than their record and that is something we have to start respecting more is teams in that position -- how hungry they are and how they are fighting for their jobs. We need to have the same kind of matching effort, if not more, and make them play at our level. We didn't do that tonight.
-
Anyone Quotes
I'm a firm believer in second chances, and if we're going to go through life not giving anyone second chances, what kind of life are we going to have? People make mistakes in life. Unfortunately, I was under the microscope and on TV when my mistake happened, and if I'm going to sit here and keep getting ridiculed about it, how are we ever going to give someone a second chance to become better or to change situations?
-
Climbing Quotes
I haven't been myself out there, ... I haven't been playing my game. Things happen, but good people get through tough situations. You got to keep climbing and keep building. The only thing you can really say is that we're winning. We got other guys doing the job while a couple of us are not on the top of our games. It's good to see because it shows how much depth we have on our team and how everyone is moving forward here.
-
Anywhere Quotes
I can come up here and say that it's been a tough time, ... It's nice that it's gotten over. I've always wanted to stay here in Vancouver. I've never wanted to go anywhere else. This is my home. This is where my kids were born. This is where I became the player that I am right now. I'm really excited that it's done and that I can stay here for awhile.
-
Couple Quotes
The first couple of shifts felt good. Obviously, we're going to use these games to get ourselves ready for the real thing. ... San Jose, to their credit, they're a quick team so it kept the tempo really up. You really have to skate and work hard to get back. ... But, overall, I think it was OK.
-
Ahead Quotes
Am I going to get it? Absolutely, I'm going to get it. Do I expect it? Whatever. You know what? I go about my business. If people want to go ahead and stand up and do what they do, they pay for their tickets to come to the rink. So be it. I'll deal with it and contribute the way I know how, and that's on the ice.
