I know Thomas is a good player. It doesn't feel right for me, but that's how it goes. It's the nature of the game.

It's got me thinking about getting a visor again. Last year in Czech the visors were mandatory. It was OK, I got used to it. I might have to get onto it after the Olympic break.

They need a new building. There's a lot of history in that building but everything has to end. I think (the players) would be happy to have a new arena. They go to all the other places and see all the nice places. I don't see anything special about that arena.

If we want to win, we have to win the battle in front of the net. It's tough when a big guy is in front of the net, it's tough to defend it. It's all positioning. If you're smaller, you have to be a little smarter.

Everybody made sacrifices. We tried to block shots and make it easy for our goalie.
