He should be the guy. He has helped San Jose. It's all a matter if they're going to make the playoffs or not.

Hopefully we have good trainers who can get him back.
The Rangers could spend $80 million before, now they cannot do it, ... Every time they make a move, it's got to be a good move and make sense. Before, because we could spend money here in New York, you had to get somebody to satisfy the fans and sometimes too much is not good. You need a lot of hard-working guys and every superstar needs their ice time to be that superstar. If you've got so many of them, somebody is going to get left behind.
When they're calling everything, you have to be smarter. It seems like every time we lose, it's because we've screwed up and we make stupid plays.
He was my idol since I was 15-years old. I had a chance to see him every day and learn a lot from him. Like my first goal today, I learned that from Mario. He scored a lot of them like that.
I felt like we had enough chances in the second period to win the game, easily. We just didn't do it. ... We couldn't score. That's the problem we've got now, nothing else.
I finished the game, I'm OK. I knew I was not going to be a big factor. I was hoping they'd play the checking line against us. It still didn't work.
If I played in the Czech Republic or elsewhere in Europe, However, I do not feel like making the change.
I got my advantage, other people got their advantage, ... I'm not that quick. But I'm 245 (pounds) and I'm not going to get tired that quick. I might not be good in the first, but I think I'm going to be good in the third.
I got hit, it's swollen. I don't know what's going to happen tomorrow. I have to talk to the doctors first. We have the whole day tomorrow to figure out something. I'll do anything to play, you can bet on it.
If they let me shoot, they let me shoot. That's fine with me, ... They covered everybody else. I'll take it any time.
I didn't get frustrated - it's a playoff game and I did what I had to do. We're losing, 5-1, and I wanted to play as hard as I can to the last minute. Whether it's smart or not, I don't know. I'm not going to question that.... I don't want to send anybody a message. That's the way I wanted to play. That's the way I'm going to play.
I don't even think abut it, I don't even know. I know one thing, the more I'm going to score, the better chance the team has to win.
