I hope (Canadians) cheer for us. We'll take any support we can get. We're going to need it.
Hopefully I still have a few more good years in me, but it was a great ceremony and it's something I'll remember the rest of my life.
Goal scoring hasn't been there this year for me. I don't know why, but tonight, everything seemed to work. I hope to keep it up for the stretch.
It feels all right. You have to constantly wipe off the water, but it's something you have to get used to, ... I'm going to have to wear it for the next three weeks, and hopefully I can keep it on for the remainder of the year.
Getting the puck out of our own end is a victory right now.
It's been a long wait for Swedish hockey.
I think we knew with even 25 games to go that it would be dog race to the end. Obviously we have two big games in Montreal, but we have to try and keep winning until the end.

I've probably played better games this season and come out with no points. Don't get me wrong, I played a good game, but the puck followed me wherever I went. I wish I could say that I said before the game that I would score four goals, but that kind of stuff just doesn't happen.
I thought we beat ourselves. We have a lot to work to do, that's for sure.
They are one of the hottest teams in the league. We'll take a win any way we can.
Milestones you look back on later in your career,
