I'm not angry, I'm upset. I've got no answer for it. The last two games we lost to teams we should beat. We're having such a good year, we don't want to give it away.
That is the last thing I want to do.
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.
Some people picked us for last in the NHL. I think they're very wrong.
The New York Rangers don't have much experience in the playoffs the last years but the players are different. You have to forget about what happened the day before and think forward, never be too satisfied and never be too angry.
You can't look at the big picture. By losing three straight you can't say, 'Let's win four.' We didn't play good the last 10 games of the season. We're just lucky we had enough points to make (the playoffs).
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.
Nothing happened. The coach put me out there for the last 20 seconds, but I didn't even try. I just stood there. That's not what we wanted to do, embarrass the team.
It was probably my last match in the national team. Like for lots of boys.
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.
All we needed was one victory or one point and we couldn't do it. You know, for whatever reason, hopefully we can forget everything that happened the last two weeks and move on.
it's very likely that the World Cup will become the last tournament on the national team for 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.
