enjoy everybody experience fresh great last might older olympic opportunity playoff race start starts tournament
It's a fresh start for him. He doesn't have to think about the playoff race or anything. Everybody starts at zero. It's a great opportunity for us. We're getting older and it might be our last big tournament for our country. I think he's just going to enjoy the Olympic experience and make the most of the opportunity.
ahead enjoy far few hard ottawa question
It's hard to think that far ahead right now but once I get back to Ottawa there's no question there's more things that need to be done this year. But I'm going to try and enjoy this for a few days, first.

He can make things happen from nothing and from nowhere. He takes pressure off guys.
guys instead league mindset playing rewarded sitting
I think it's a different mindset this year. You see how the guys are doing it and you see the possibilities. And you're playing more offensively, so I think the mindset is a lot different in the league right now, too. I think you're getting rewarded for going on the offense, instead of sitting back.
laid
(St. Louis) just laid down. (But) I shouldn't have done it.
looks shape stronger
He is in much better shape overall. He's a lot stronger ... he looks good.
flat third
It's disappointing to see how flat we were in the third period,' said Julien.
chasing good
That's the way it is in this building. They're a good team. If you're not 100% ready, they'll have you chasing the puck. That's what happened.
halfway
I don't know if it's a milestone or not but it's halfway to 500 so I'm getting there.
faster looks
He looks a lot faster and a lot more confident,
learned salt
A lot of us learned from Salt Lake, and we learned that if you're not ready, anything can happen.
handled showcase trying
They're just trying to showcase themselves. I thought we handled it well.
fools gave good lost maybe penalties position touched
Once we killed off my penalties, that gave us a lot of momentum. It's something I shouldn't have done, but I had such good position on St. Louis, there's no way I touched him. Maybe it's not the referee's fault, (St. Louis) dives and fools the referee. We were getting a lot of penalties and I just lost it.
