If you're afraid of it, then you're going to fail.
"Brian Joseph Gionta" is an American professional ice hockey player and the Captain (ice hockey)/captain of the Buffalo Sabres of the National Hockey League (NHL). He goes by the nickname "Gio" from his teammates and The Rochester Rocket, dubbed by the media. Although small in stature compared to most other players (Gionta is currently the second-shortest player in the NHL; fellow Boston College Eagle Nathan Gerbe is two inches shorter), he is known for his tenacious play.

You see what he does in certain situations and try to react off that. I tried a couple of things the other night and this time I tried something else.
You grew up watching Team USA and you always wanted to be out there.
He was playing above the crease. I faked a shot to freeze him and then made my move.
We just have to stick with it and know that we are doing the right things. We can't press too hard because you get too far away from your game.
Obviously he's a huge part of this team and he's going to add a lot to it, but with or without him, we need to change things and play differently. We're making too many of the same mistakes and that's what hurting us. For a guy to come back and correct all that, that's not going to happen.
We've just got to keep plugging away. We're trying to be too fancy at times, passing up some shots that we should be taking.
It was kind of a weird game from start to finish. It wasn't as sharp as we have been playing lately, but it's still two points.
