It hurts a lot more than it did after the first game. I can not really lift my arm or do anything.

I'm not the first guy they booed and I won't be the last. It makes me feel a lot better when I score a goal and we win the game.

That's special for me, of course. I scored in overtime in Wayne Gretzky's last game here and I scored in overtime tonight. Of course, it's great.

I'm not a scoring machine.

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.

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.
