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...
