Henrik Lundqvist Good Quotations

I always want to push myself as far as possible; I always want to be up there and recognised as a good goalie and have people appreciate what you do.

It really comes down to fit. When it comes to a suit, for example, it's important that the shoulders fit you well; the length of the pants are important. That kind of shows me right away if you're into it or if you don't care. If they get the shoulders right, you know that they have some sort of interest in getting a good look.

It felt good to get a win again because the last loss really bothers me and I think it bothers the whole team. It feels good to be back on the right track.

We had a good talk today and right now everybody is focused on doing whatever we can do to get a win Saturday. If we get a win, a lot of things can happen.

There's been a lot of talk about the last Olympics. It was a tough loss for the nation. Of course, we want to have a good tournament. We had a tough World Cup (in 2004) as well. So I think everybody wants to see us play a good tournament.

It's not good for us at all. We need him, but if he can't go 100 percent, it's better to let somebody else take his spot.

It's not good for us at all. He's a great player and a good scorer, so of course we needed him. But if he can't go for 100 percent then I think it's nice to let someone else take his spot.

It was a good play by them. I was also a little bit surprised. I didn't see him.

It's never good to have those players injured, the top players on the team. I hope that Peter is well when the tournament starts and he will be very excited about playing.

I'm getting close to the game I want to play over here, ... It's not just the smaller rink that's different, it's how they play. In Sweden, a lot of players are good passers, good skaters. They hold on to the puck more. There's a lot more dump and chase over here. They go for the net and shoot. If they find an opening over here, they'll hit it.

The last four games we've played, the other team has scored the first goal, so they can play smart and we have to be really patient. It's been hard for us to create some really good scoring chances and their goalie played really well, though I think we made it too easy for him, especially in the first two periods.
