Many European guys go to the N.H.L. at a young age, even without knowing English. But they quickly adapt to new conditions, another game, a new country. They are also young, receptive, can move mountains.
I think the whole league has changed. There are a lot of guys changing teams. It's going to be a different league than ever before.
Maybe for some guys it would take a month, hopefully my body is different and heals quick. I'll have to pray a lot and hope for miracles. If the pain lets me play a little bit, I'll be on the ice the first chance I have.
They didn't win it, we lost it. You've got to learn from that. You've got to finish those guys when you have the chance like we had.
Sometimes I feel better than other nights. Even if I don't feel very good during the game, I know there's other guys who can help me get through that game. That's why I don't put too much pressure on me.
Any win is a good win, especially when you lose three straight at home. I was a little scared. In every game, we had a lead or were tied in the third period and just blew it. Three straight games. Mistakes after mistakes. We had to stop doing that.
He should be the guy. He has helped San Jose.
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.
The chemistry on the team is great, and so far it's been fun for everybody here.
It's different. Even if you think you're ready for it, it's a different game.
I want to win the Cup and I want to win the Cup in New York. My first two years, when I won the Cup in Pittsburgh, especially the first year, I was on the third or fourth line, and I wasn't really involved in the game, there was Mario and other veterans who carried the team and they kinda gave the Cup to me.
I was 90 percent sure we were going to make it. I'm glad. I got what I expected. I would be very upset if we didn't make it.
Of course, nobody is going to pick us.
He's a great guy. He's not only good coach, but I think he understands the life of hockey, how important is it off the ice, to even treat the players off the ice, not only on the ice. The chemistry on team, it's great. It's so far been fun for everybody here.
