Anytime you walk around the corner, all you ever hear about is Mike and the '80 Olympic team. This group of guys, we have a strong feeling of pride in playing for our country.

I don't think any team stops playing hard because they had some injuries.

Chris came off the corner and started to get underneath Mike. Mike came out of the corner too and I saw them make contact. Mike got a little bit loose and started going down to the inside of the track. I just stayed on the gas and went by both of them on the outside. I was able to beat Mike into turn three.

There's a lot of teams we're chasing. It's no different from tonight and even versus Pittsburgh they were important points and it's another opportunity to catch those teams in front of us.

The clerk saw their last name and took care of them. Told them where to go and what to do. My grandfather's from Italy. I've been all over Europe but never here. That's what makes it so exciting.

They're a little bright. But they stopped the puck.
