It (Olympics) is definitely a step up from the NHL regular season play.
A win on the road like this, we know it's never easy, especially here in Carolina. Both teams were tired after traveling. But I feel very good at the end when you finally get the two points.
I'm enjoying playing the game again. I'm having fun, getting chances every night and it's certainly fun playing next to a player like Peter.
There's nothing I can do right now but get healthy as soon as possible.
He does a great job guarding low. We have to bring it up on him.
It's fun what's going on right now. The puck keeps going in.
Without saying what adjustments that we made, we played a lot harder than we did in the second game. I don't want to say we're back in the series, but we're close.
We need to get as close as possible as soon as possible. That's the challenge in front of us.
We need to get back to what we were doing good. We need to figure out what we're doing wrong.
We wanted to get back on track. You go two games without scoring a goal and it gets in your mind a bit.
We all know that sometimes when you play, you feel like you're slow and you get a slow start and that's something that we can't do in Toronto,
When you have everybody, it brings some confidence for the other lines. We had success with that (line) at the start of the year and hopefully it can help us win games the rest of the way.
We dominated the game in Buffalo because of the start. The start of the game is very important for us, especially with the type of team we have.
You always want to do something special when you're coming back.
