It would have bothered me to see Ken Daneyko's number, or Scott Stevens' given out. But Nieder made his own choice to leave.
Certainly when you have to leave a game, it's a concern. The doctor looked at it and didn't say it was too bad, so we'll see what the next couple of days will bring, how sore it's going to be. I twisted it. My leg was under me and I kind of put my body weight on it and I heard it twist pretty hard.
It was crazy. There were Japanese people all over him. It was unbelievable. When we arrived in Tokyo, they didn't think about it. They didn't think we were going to come in and people would flip out for Wayne Gretzky. Shayne Corson almost took him on his back and had to walk him to the bus because people were all over him. He couldn't do anything.
As far as I'm concerned, he's the best hockey player that I've played against.
I wanted to challenge him. I went further than usual, and I waved my glove hand in his face and tried to get his attention. It worked out well. I don't know if he looked at me or not, but I was moving everything I could.
Definitely, it's a little crisis. It's not the end of the world.
It felt long, ... Not playing is one thing, but not being with the guys. I was out of it for 18 months with the lockout and now I'm so happy to get back. When you're hurt -- I'd never really experienced it before -- you're not part of a team too much.
It's like preseason now. I guess maybe a memo was sent down to call games tighter again.
Perfect is a big word. But we're playing great hockey.
He missed it. He went low and it hit my pad.
He missed it. (It went) low, hit my pad.
This is a big rivalry here and we're definitely excited about the situation that we're in but we haven't won anything yet.
These teams were ready for us. Nobody wanted to give us a break. All tournament long, it didn't matter what team we play, they give us their A game. It's really disappointing.
The worst thing for us was probably getting the early lead. We sat back after that, but in the end we held on and got a good performance out of our guys.
