It doesn't matter. We just have to face Sweden.

It's very important to score the first goal. We scored the first goal against Slovakia (in the quarterfinals). Sweden scored the first goal against us (in the semis). Finland scored first against Russia (in the semis). When you're down, you have to change your game plan.

To me, it doesn't matter if I have a 'C' or not. If the team is going to do good, I'm going to get a bigger reward than other guys on the team. But if the team's going to do bad, I'm going to be blamed… Everyone leads differently. There's not going to be another Mark Messier. I had the 'C' in Pittsburgh for five years and I had no problem with that. But it's kind of different now.

He stole my goal. I'm going to kick him out of the apartment.

People judge you by the way you play in the playoffs.

The players don't play the position game as much as we used to play. A lot of young guys go up and down, shoot the puck, go for the rebounds. You're getting tired quicker because the body has to react where the puck is going to go. You cannot read it, because you don't have the puck on your stick.
