I know I could be better, but it's going to take some time.

I'm going to improve.

We have to avoid the penalties. It's too easy to fall behind big with them. You make a few mistakes and you're down two or three goals.

I try to do many things, score and hit, be a versatile player, ... I only have one gear and I play as hard as I can.

He's unbelievable, a great player. That's all I know.

I think we're kind of underdogs when we play them, and people didn't expect too much from us. Everybody is behind us in Finland, and I don't think there's pressure.

He has tons more skills than I do, ... I've never seen anybody put so much time into practice and create the skills he has.

Of course I'm not happy with the one goal and no assists.

His game is not about the points, it's an all-around game, ... He goes hard, hits and bangs, and he wants to get dirty, too. He's entertaining to watch.
