Alexei Yashin Game Quotations

I don't think it really changes anything from my game point. But it's a big responsibility, not only for my personal game and my personal results, it's what the team has to do to be successful. I get to play one of the main roles to make sure we're going in the direction we want to go.

We have to raise our game and play our best hockey in the medal round. It was a good practice today because I think every line was clicking.

We let a lot of games slip away. We spent a lot of time chasing points, and those points wound up costing us the playoffs.

It's always been my team since I came here. We've had some good games and some bad games. We made a great step forward for this team that had been in last place. Now the expectations are higher.
