Niklas Kronwall Quotations

If he doesn't end up getting another medal, I'm offering him the medal. I feel he deserves it more than I do.

It would have been frustrating and disappointing to not have played (during the Olympic break). When the opportunity came around (to play for Sweden), I couldn't have been happier. To play hockey at such a high-level tournament against top players, it really helped me.

It's something I've looked forward to for a long time. It'll be fun to go out there and play again.

I wish I would've played in other circumstances. I feel bad for him.

I think this is the first time they really got to see him and be fair to him. I don't think they've been fair to him before. He's been unbelievable other times before, but then you get kicked out of the Olympics, you get kicked out of the World Cup - if you don't win anything, you don't get the same publicity and all that. So, just the fact he got to make that big shot in the final on the game-winning goal, that just made everything come true.

I think he deserved it more than I have. I came in and played two games. If we don't end up getting another medal, I'm offering a medal.

I think it would be hard, because you've got to suddenly change your life drastically.

I couldn't have been more ready when I returned. But the only way to get back to playing shape is to play.

It takes a period of time. It takes a while to get back to that pace.

It's really sad things happened the way they did. I just hope that things can work out in some way down the road; maybe the doctors will come up with something new. But only time can tell.
