Mikael Tellqvist Tough Quotations

It's easier when you're seeing more action. It was tough in Buffalo because we played our butts off but when you're playing many games in a row, you can get into a groove.

It's the first Olympic game I'm going to start and I'm really excited. I'm hoping I go in there and play well because it's my first game in three weeks. I know the Slovaks are a tough team. They're skilled and they can really move the puck.

It's a really tough loss, but fortunately we got one point.
