It was a funny goal.

We played very well, but we had lots of penalties.

Yes, I think about (the Calder trophy), and I want to win it because everybody does. If I’m playing hockey, I want to win all the (trophies) I can.

We had a good game tonight, but we made a few too many mistakes. Tomorrow is a big game and we can’t make those mistakes.

I work to make shots, I try to do something, always to do something,

We have nine games more, we have to try to win five or six. We don’t have any pressure right now and we’re enjoying ourselves.

When I got into the shootout, I know what I’m going to do. I just got the shot that was available and was able to make.

Right now it will be a new tournament and if you lose you go home.

We came here to win, the first period we played well, but Toronto won the third,

It’s been a lot of fun this season for me, but I’d like to win more. We must forget this game and move forward to the next game.

I just looked what I do … goalie he thought I go to do some move, but I shot it.

It will be the biggest game of my life. Canada will be a lot tougher than the Americans.

When I sit on the bench, I know what I must do,

He’s a Canadian, he should get more attention,

It’s my fault we lost the game. I must take advantage of those chances, but it was not my day.

We did it. We beat a great team. All the people in my country will be jumping up and down and will drink a lot of vodka.

I thought I scored two goals, but I didn’t score, … I must score when I have a great chance to score. I’m disappointed because we lost this game and the first period was terrible.

If the National Hockey League was in Russia, I would be getting the attention,

We played not good for two periods. The third period, I think we played pretty well.

This is special, very special, for our country.

I think he scored a beautiful goal and did a great job and he is good, … He scored a great goal and did a great job, and he controlled the puck beautifully. He’s good.

This is the first season after the lockout and it is different for every team, … Of course, the lockout has been a factor [for the Capitals]. But anything is possible if a team can...

I know in Toronto, everybody (is) really focused.

Everybody in my country is jumping and drinking lots of vodka.

If I can get my stick to lift up the puck backhand, I can score. It’s my mistake.

My first goal is to help the team.

Everybody in my country is jumping, I think. And everybody at the Olympics will drink lots of vodka.

He’s a very good player.

We just play how we can and we don’t score. Everybody is trying hard. … We just play and we don’t have luck.

Everybody is jumping up and down back in Russia. Probably lots of vodka, too.

I was very excited when Pavel Bure called (to say he was on the Olympic team).

If we wouldn’t have lost the (last) game before the Olympics, I would have felt better. But I think we played very well in the first period and we missed second-period chances.

For sure, Pavel Bure was my hero. I was very young, but I remember this moment. I recorded the game.

I feel great we won this game. We lost our last six so I feel excellent and I feel happy. We played hard.

My time in the NHL goes so fast. I remember when I came to Toronto to my agent’s house. I just started the preseason. And now it’s half season, and now the Olympics.

That was one of my most important goals in my career. So tomorrow I’m going to try and score another goal that will rank even more important.

We came out and played hard. I’m happy to score three goals to win this game. It’s my first hat trick in the NHL and it feels like my first goal in the NHL.

We must forget about this game. We play two games in two days all the time in the NHL, so that’s OK.
