I am happy for it. Look at the great players here in the past 80 years.
I'm glad they did it because we can learn. Something might happen in the playoffs and we have to learn from that -- how to handle that.
First off, it's going to be a different team than Pittsburgh was today. As long as we play the same way as we did today, we'll have a chance.
The way I saw it from the outside, there was always pressure on the New York Rangers, for the GM to make moves. It was kind of ... necessary,
I'm wearing my Rangers gloves. That's the team that got me there.
If I played in the Czech Republic or elsewhere in Europe, However, I do not feel like making the change.
The year off helped me a lot. I was able to play in the Czech Republic and Russia. You know, the same routine for 14 years, I'm not saying it was getting tiring, but it was mentally tiring, probably.
I was lucky again, and you have to be lucky in this tournament. It was good to score because you never know what will happen in the final three minutes.
I don't think I've seen a better player shoot the one-timer. It was a gift.
Hopefully, my most important goal is going to come later in the season.
I wasn't doing it for the drama. I said if I could play, I would. I knew I wouldn't be any good, but I gave it my best.
I haven't looked at the stats the last four years because I wasn't up there. That's why I didn't look at it.
I faked the shot to see what the goalie was going to do and then I hit the net.
I think they feel that way. To beat us is probably more important to them than to win the gold. I don't think it's helping them. You have to have a clear head and not be too motivated.
