I hope not, but I think he is. In a short tournament like that, goaltending is huge. He's one of those goalies who can get in other people's heads. If he starts shutting you down after two periods you start thinking, and he's really great that way. He can get in your head for sure.

Especially the Olympics in 2010, I'm sure some of us aren't going to be there. We had one goal from the start and that was make the finals and play for the gold medal.
