I saw everybody in front of me, and their eyes were going crazy. It was a scary five or six seconds. They finally told us there was a mechanical problem and they couldn't get the plane in the air.

For a lot of people, going to the Olympics is a once-in-a-lifetime chance. For me, it's my third one. You never know when it's going to be the last, so I want to enjoy this thing as much as I can.

I played 25 minutes and 35 minutes in two games. I shouldn't be tired. I'm tired of getting scored on.

It was crazy. There were Japanese people all over him. It was unbelievable. When we arrived in Tokyo, they didn't think about it. They didn't think we were going to come in and people would flip out for Wayne Gretzky. Shayne Corson almost took him on his back and had to walk him to the bus because people were all over him. He couldn't do anything.

I'm real happy, very excited. It's a great opportunity for me to end my career here and stay close to my kids. That was my huge concern going forward with the new league.

I couldn't wait to get water.

We definitely have to keep an eye on Crosby a lot more. I thought we just played him like a regular player, and he showed us that we can't allow ourselves to do that. We have to play him tough and try to get him off his game.
