The guy who has stood out as being special is Howard. You don't walk in and just replace Jim Thome, but you can't possibly do any better than he has.

I don't want Dany to fight, he shouldn't be the guy to do it. But he stood up and did the job. He knows how. He's a Canadian boy.

These guys can go deep, as well as short. They have really stood out (in the preseason).

I don't think you can replace a guy like Daniel Alfredsson. He does so much for this team and he is having such an awesome year. He's doing it all for us: Killing penalties and scoring big goals. I don't think it's up to just one guy to step up when he's gone. Everybody has to get the job done.

I stood there (on the medal podium) in disbelief. It was a really special moment. I wouldn't have been there without (my parents).

Two years ago, Frank Doyle came into the Harvard game in the third period in Albany [to replace Jimmy Howard]. You've got to be ready for everything.
