The chemistry on the team is great, and so far it's been fun for everybody here.
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'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.
I don't like teams where the general manager or coaches are separated, ... Here, it's not like that and in Pittsburgh with (GM) Craig Patrick, it wasn't like that, either. Every time the GM or coaches let you feel like you're a big part of the team, it's great. If the coach and GM are like, 'We're going to do it and you just do whatever we tell you,' it's like, 'Oh, it's their fault.' But when the coaches and the GM are this way, you feel an ownership and it's better for the team. You give more.
I am not trying to look for any records. I wanted to help this team make the playoffs.
On special teams, we weren't very sharp. They scored three goals on the power play and we didn't have any. Five on five, we can play with anybody, we know that. I don't think we're a worse team than them. Maybe less talented, but worse? No way.
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.
I'm wearing my Rangers gloves. That's the team that got me there.
The team decided after one month after I came here they were going to sell everybody. After the trade deadline, there were only two players left on the team from when I came here.
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.
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.
It's different. Even if you think you're ready for it, it's a different game.
