Milestones you look back on later in your career,
You never know in a tournament like this. The margin is so close.
Not as long as I have Gary (Roberts) standing next to me.
I learned to respect Daniel over the years. He's a fine player.
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.
That's exactly what you try to do on the power play - put the puck on the net.
I hope (Canadians) cheer for us. We'll take any support we can get. We're going to need it.
I think we made some progress tonight. If we can keep playing like we did tonight we can turn this thing around.
He is probably the most talented player I've ever played with.
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.
