I feel better and better every day. It’s 1 inch. It’s not a lot, but at the same time, it is a lot. It’s definitely different.

We are going to have to win over Germany and Italy, that’s where we focus.

You get three days off, so that’s a good thing, too, … Of course, I would’ve loved to go, there’s no question about that, but it’s no big deal. I’ll just rest and relax a...

It was the first time I had seen them. They work hard and move the puck pretty well. They have one of the highest scoring teams so I know you can’t give them too much....

The first one (by Smyth) wasn’t a goal. It was clear he kicked it in. The second one, well . . . I don’t know. I think it was a pretty close call.

I am happy. Now I have to get consistent. We played really well tonight, the whole team.

For me, when I came to training camp, I turned the page. You worry about the guys who are here, not the guys that aren’t here.

It’s really close, winning and losing. It’s usually one pass play, one power play or one PK (penalty kill). If we raise the bar a little higher, we’re going to be all right.

We played great for the first 40 minutes, then we slacked off, … It was the best 40 minutes we have played this year.

It was a great atmosphere, I made some saves, but we’re here to win.

It’s great for Swiss hockey that we won. We have to be careful because it’s one game.

I don’t know if I touched it, but I knew he was pretty shifty, so I kind of challenged him a little bit. Then I poke-checked and saw he was going to lose the handle...

You should win those games. Right now we are a little short. We’ve lost games weirdly.

He shot it right over my glove. If somebody’s going to have a breakaway, it’s probably him. He’s a really good player and has a lot of speed so he gets a lot of breakaways.

I think I was a little bit too tight.

I wasn’t happy with how I played either.

I was sharp, but I’ve been that way since January. I made a couple of tough saves, but it was mostly the guys in front of me.

Sometimes it’s good for the confidence for sure but the better your team plays the better it is for the team. My job is to stop those and I think I did a pretty good...

I would say I definitely had a couple tough days after that last game,

He’s pretty good on breakaways. I thought he was going to go high glove. He came down with speed and I thought he might go wide and he shot right over my glove.

I think the biggest difference is I’m having fun. I think I was a little bit too tight. Now I go out there and play hard, but I have fun at the same time. It...

It wasn’t pretty. But it was two points.

When you come in and you don’t play the way you should it’s frustrating, especially after a trade.

The last two games I’ve played better, the way I know I can. I’ve been struggling, but it’s good to be back.

It was a stupid play by me to take that call. I didn’t play the way I know I can play. It was frustrating to me and it shouldn’t happen.

I think a couple of times he missed his shot.

Our communication is better, … Everyone knows where they have to be.

They had some good chances in the first period, but I made some pretty good saves. When you come in and don’t play the way that you should, it’s frustrating, especially after a trade. You...

It’s nicer to have them chant your name than to do the opposite.

We dominated the first period, but made a couple of mistakes that cost us a little bit. The same with me, I maybe wasn’t patient enough, especially on the fourth goal.

Usually, you should win these games. Somehow right now, we are a little short.

This was good for Swiss hockey but at the same time, it’s one game.

Sometimes it doesn’t really matter how you win, just as long as you win. I’ve been playing, I would say, pretty good of late and I can be happy that we score a lot of...

I was pleased with the way I played. (The first period) gave me a lot of confidence right from the start.

There are so many bodies in front of the net. There took a little bit more liberties.

The first 20 minutes they worked harder than us. That’s why they were up 3-1.

I tried to go get (the puck), and it jumped over my stick, and I couldn’t play it where it landed.

This is the time you are going to see the Czechs, the U.S. and everybody step it up.

All of a sudden, we had a hockey game and still 30-to-35 minutes to play. I didn’t have much to do early.

I think I’ve played well the last two games. I didn’t have the start I wanted with Montreal, but sometimes that happens and you have to concentrate on what’s in front rather than looking back.

We played pretty hard. We had a little trouble the first 50 minutes. We didn’t really play our game, but in the end it was a [win] for us.

There are going to be days like this and periods like the first.

Usually, you should win those games. Somehow, right now, we’re a little short. Unfortunately, we lost again. I don’t know if it’s weird. I think we just have to play a little bit better and...

Unfortunately, we didn’t play as good as we did the previous two games, but we were able to get the point that allows us to go into the quarter-finals.

I have more confidence and more fun playing the game right now than I had before the season.

A six-on-four is never easy. There’s so many bodies in front of the net. I feel pretty good the way I’m moving right now. I worked hard on it during the period where I didn’t...

There’s a lot of confidence in the whole team and we never know who we’re going to play in the playoffs.

It would be good to be 6-1 (against Minnesota). It’s a hard-working team over there, and they did what they had to do.

I think Hedgy deserved it way before me, … With the system you have, I think it costs players like Milan a spot when they should be on. But that’s the way it goes.

(Weaver) rimmed it and I tried to go get it. It jumped over my stick and I couldn’t play it where it landed. I had to go back in my net and there was a...
