You grow up playing five games in three days in tournaments. It's like going back to peewee hockey again.
We had some big goals to keep tying it up, but we needed to find a way to get that lift and to get the one to get the lead. We never managed to get the lead.
Tonight I think we picked up our desperation and urgency. We need to do that, or else we were going to be in trouble.
I was so excited and so honored to be named part of the team, and for that to happen, it blows my mind. I've done absolutely nothing (wrong), and I've had to defend myself through all of Canada.
Obviously you want to be on the team but there's at least 100 Canadian players that could easily be on that team. The group making the selections will have a tough decision on a lot of guys.
You never want to say, 'This one's for him,' because nothing compares to that, but it's a good way to go home. We're finding ways to win games again.
That's no fun to miss the playoffs. The World Championships was great, but you want to play in the playoffs. That's why you play the 82 games, so to go home early is no fun. Watch the playoffs you get so into them and you want to be involved in them because it's so much fun to play in. To not be able to play in the postseason is really tough to take.

That's fine. We're fortunate we can all play with everybody and expect success. I haven't exactly been tearing it up, so however I can help is going to be what I do.
The way they move the puck is fun to watch,
We have to stick together now. No one is going to feel sorry for us. We have to find ways to pull ourselves out of this.
I had to apologize to a lot of people. I had to tell them I don't know what happened and that I'm sorry.
In America, nobody has any idea what Wayne is. If you took Michael Jordan, Shaquille O'Neal, Derek Jeter, Brett Favre and kind of put them all into one, that type of following would almost be the same as what Wayne has in Canada.
I haven't really thought that much about it. It's nice down here (in Phoenix). You don't hear that much about it hockey-wise.
