The winning goal was bad luck, ... I knew Adam was there, but I didn't know he was changing. It was just bad judgment, I guess.
Obviously, anytime you're mentioned with his name, it feels pretty special, ... It still would be nice to win the game.
This late in the season with the standings, it's going to be a roller coaster. You win and you feel real good, and you lose, obviously it's tough. But we've just got to focus on the next game.
It's a great honor, a privilege, and I'm looking forward to it. But to me it's not any extra pressure or anything. We're there to try and win a gold together.
They are not going to quit. They are going to fight, they are going to do whatever they can to get a win. There is no tomorrow if you don't win that game. That's what makes it real hard to win your fourth one.
Everything's in the past. We're moving on. We just want to win games.
It's just great to get the win. It was a battle out there. After the first period, we thought we had everything under control.
He was in a checking role in L.A.. I've always known he has skill, but it's really coming together for him this year. It's nice to see. He's a great guy and it's good to see him put the puck in the net.
I think we're going to be a very competitive, very exciting team.
It always helps to get off to a good start.
The time of year I love the weather the most here is the fall, and I've never really gotten to experience the mountains and Denver in the fall because I was always playing and traveling.
It's obviously nice. You don't have to move your family, ... We're comfortable here. It's nice to be a part of it for the whole tenure.
I always said to myself that the minute I thought I'd slipped, and not be the player I wanted to be, it was time for me to go.
I remember one year in the Adams, Boston had 109 points,Quebec 104, Montreal 102 and Buffalo was pretty close. The Northwest could be like that this year. If you're a fan, you're going to love watching our division.
