He didn't accomplish a miracle. He just put the pieces back together.
He wanted us to have the best system we could, and I think he never really approved of what we took.
He had the bronze medal in my face all the time. And his wool jersey, because they played outside.
People like the glamour and the glamour with Scotty is his hits. That's what they remember. They don't want to talk about him taking the puck away from Jaromir Jagr with one hand or anything like that.
I think we'll surprise a lot of people.
The distractions that people think we're gonna have, that's bogus for most of the guys on the team. This is such a great time for all of us. It doesn't concern me or any of my teammates.
In the old days we used to be like that, but it's been different for us, definitely. We had a whole day off (Sunday) and only saw each other for about 45 minutes this morning. But I think everybody deep down knew that it was the Flyers coming in and we needed our 'A' game.
I survived the game, ... Personally, I felt really good in there. My leg was good. I was not afraid to play the way I wanted to play. That's something I was looking at before getting a start. I'm pretty happy about it.
I'm not worried about it. It's not something I need to have right now.
He's a young guy. When you have the privilege of playing for the greatest hockey country, there are only so many players. It's not that he's not worth being there, it's just because he's in a situation that Team Canada has a new wave of young players.
It's been a long time coming for a lot of people. I know a lot of the players are real thrilled to get back at it. In New Jersey, the level of excitement is huge.
We'll see what the next couple of days bring and how sore it is. I just twisted it. My leg was under me and I kind of put my body weight under it and I heard it twist pretty hard.
We're going to shadow a line instead of one player.
We're just worried about what we do on the ice. Whoever runs the ship will surely be a good fit for us.
