I think I knew he was there; you always know when he’s on the ice, he’s such a great little player. He (Hecht) made a quick enough pass that I couldn’t make the push to...

I’d like to think we’re better than any one player. I think that’s the sign of a great hockey club.

I don’t know how great (my performance) was. I felt like I was in the zone but you never feel good when you give up one more goal than the other team. We just got...

Things are going to flip around. There’s going to be games that I’m winning. There’s going to be games that he’s winning. It’s going to be a revolving door until somebody jumps all over it...

There are some young players in here who are going to carry the team in the future. I think it would be pretty unfair to judge them right now.

I’m a better goalie now from having gone through everything in 2004.

It was October when it happened to me. I was misdiagnosed by the MRI and at the end of the season, (someone else) looked at the same MRI and told me I had a torn...

It’s just talk between me and a player that’s all. I’m not frustrated with anything. We just have our hands full and we have a lot of work ahead of us, and that’s about it.

We just have to learn to play from the net out defensively instead of worrying so much about offense.

It was nothing he did. I was just trying to spark the team.

Pressure isn’t a bad word. It’s a great word. It gives you tunnel vision and let’s you focus on the task at hand.

I don’t think anybody would turn a blind eye and say this sort of thing doesn’t happen. But as far as it being Rick, I don’t know. Obviously, he will come out and explain it....

We’ve got a big job in front of us right now. We owe it to all the people that were watching this game back home to come home strong.

I’ll bet if you walked over to that stick rack you’d be lucky to find three (illegal sticks).

He’s just jealous, he’s got a big butt. The blades didn’t work well for him. That machine was too small for him.

I got fortunate; they just hit me. Some days they hit you, and some days they don’t.

We’re embarrassed, dejected, stunned. To a man, we know we can do a lot better and we will. I don’t think anybody has to say anything to get anybody going. We have a big job...

… I couldn’t name six players on our [Olympic] team. I don’t know when we’re flying over or when we’re leaving.

That happens sometimes. You get in a groove. I was in a groove and felt really good.

We did give up a lot of scoring chances, but I’m not going to say that a stronger game out of me wouldn’t have helped us get it into overtime.

I don’t know what went wrong. They were very opportunistic in the first period. Good scoring chances. A few nice plays from gifted players.

It’s a team effort and it’s always going to be like that.

My entire focus is on the game at hand. I don’t want to think ahead. If you remember, the last season we had, right before we were heading into the playoffs I started thinking about...

They always say the biggest hurdle is making sure that injury is battle-tested, putting yourself in a position where you are going to strain it. I’ve really pushed myself this week. If something fluky happens...

I’m an emotional guy, but I think for the most part, I’ve really corrected that this season. When I’m on the ice, I have to look like the calmest guy. That’s how you show leadership.

They told me it would be four to five months, … and they ruled out the World Cup. I didn’t want to miss the opportunity, so I rushed it. I would have never done that...

I?m pretty upset at the fact that we lost. I don?t like losing two in a row, but sometimes that comes with the territory. I felt really good today. I thought I made some big...

It’s definitely frustrating when you have that many penalties to kill. But on the same hand, we kind of put ourselves in that trap – nobody else did – so we have no one to...

I never like being pulled out.

Guys are putting the onus on themselves to get this right. It was an ugly win.

We had almost 60 (blocks or misses), and that was a bigger problem for us. We missed the net on too many shots that all year we hit the net on. We shot it high...

(Clarke) did a great job of keeping the free agents they needed to and adding the right ones. I think we’re going to be a really good team, and I’m just as excited as the...

I’m good buddies with him. He’s a great man. I like him a lot. Stuff will come out. I don’t know any of the details on it. But I do know that he’s a good...

My style is I’m not a guy who needs a whole lot of games. When I was a backup, I played one game a month or two games a month. You have to be ready....

I felt like I was in a zone, but you never feel good when you give up one more.

I want to win every game that I play.

I have to work hard, obviously. If you’re realistic and you look at the big picture, that is it. It’s nothing derogatory.

I don’t think we needed anybody’s best game. We just needed everybody’s best effort, collectively and individually. It really did pay dividends in the long run.

That whole country knows they have the best player in the world. They know he couldn’t miss the Olympics without at least trying. I just hope he waits until after they play us.

These guys are really gifted. These guys’ upper body strength … you see these guys take off, they are unbelievable.

I’ve always been very realistic with everything my whole career. It is what it is. It doesn’t mean I’m going to start being a bad team guy or give a lack of effort … I’m...

I wasn’t yelling at anybody. I was as fired up as everybody. We’re all upset when goals go in. It’s not a finger-pointing thing but the process of moving ahead and making sure it doesn’t...

We played a solid 60 minutes tonight. Tonight we put everything together. I didn’t have to do much. The guys were awesome. It looked like a real Flyers game.

There’s a real sense of focus on this team. We flew off the handle [last time] and we went in a different direction tonight.

I’m not really worried about that. I’m worried about myself and the best way to prepare for hockey games, and that’s all I’m focused on.

I feel good but it doesn’t make sense just to jump back into full practice. I’ll go long tomorrow [in practice]. My goal in the next week or two is to get through a game...

I felt really weak, but there’s no excuses.

I never like being pulled out. It was the right decision. I know it’s part of the game. You want to be there when things are great and when things are bad, I want to...

That’s in the past. I don’t really want to talk about that.

We’ve played pretty well against them this year. At this time of the year, every game can go one way or the other.
