Pavel Kubina Quotations

Phil drafted me and he and Jacques me gave the chance to play for this team.

I was going to the corner between two guys, that's all I remember. Right now I am just feeling really tired.

That would be nice. That's a big milestone. You never know. You have to stay healthy and play well enough.

You just have to be careful. It seems like some games they are calling everything and the next game they are not. We just have to be more careful about it, especially in a tie game, you can't take any stupid penalties.

This time could be more difficult. Last time, the travel was not that bad. The time change was not an issue. It felt like just a continuation for the NHL season. This time will be different because the Olympics are so far away.

There's no excuses. We knew exactly what they were going to do, and still they scored four (power-play) goals. You can't win games like that.

I've played a lot of hockey games, and I've never seen anything like that. It was amazing.

It was very interesting to grow up with this team. It (was interesting) to see how we grew up as a team and as individuals and go from the worst team to a Stanley Cup.

It was always my dream to play in the NHL. And this organization gave me a chance to play.

It's a huge extra point for us because there's a lot of teams chasing us from behind.

Hey, the Lightning is our bread. This is our family. Yes, it will be real unbelievable to play in the Olympics, but when we get back, I don't think we will allow ourselves to lose focus. The Lightning is the most important thing to all of us.

Hopefully I'll be OK. I'm going to get some good sleep - I just feel tired now. We'll see.
