Don't forget, I'm 39. I didn't come here just for the money to impress myself. I'm not saying I am going to be dominating. I'm not saying I'm going to be good. But I can promise you I will do all the right things to play.
I've been playing with Marty for a long time. He knows where I'm going to be and I know where to look for him.
The games to me is practice. I don't need days off. I know my body very well. If I need a day off, I'll skip the morning skate.
It was probably my last match in the national team. Like for lots of boys.
Sure, he does. So does every other veteran player and the coaching staff.
They played well, but I'm not worried about it. We lost. But we proved we can play with anyone, beat anyone.
Its tough to be down (in the series), I can't really describe how it feels. We are almost done and we are unable to score any goals.
It's not good for us and it's not going to get better until we win. I'm hoping it's not too late to stop it. I thought we had a big chance today and we didn't do it.
The way I feel right now, he may have a day off tomorrow. He will have an easy day. But that's okay. I might be back next week.
I would say he's not playing by himself, but almost by himself in Pittsburgh.
It was a playoff game. If we're going to play each other in the playoffs, the games are going to look a lot like that.
If something would have happened (in terms of a Russian comeback), I think I would have been able to go.
Right now, ... there's a chance for everybody else and I don't think it's going to hurt us. I don't think it's a rebuilding, no way. I think we have a chance like everyone else does. There's no doubt in my mind we're going to make the playoffs.
He's been the best goalie in the league for such a long time, for the last 10 years maybe. Plus, he looks like he even gets better as the games get tougher. We have to shoot the puck and hope for the best, hope that he's going to have a bad game. We just have to hope.
