00:04.373 --> 00:06.596
in New Jersey as well as in front of me

00:06.596 --> 00:08.540
to leave , uh , 12 year career was

00:08.540 --> 00:10.960
spent mostly in the United States . My

00:10.960 --> 00:13.540
Children are born there . Uh , we

00:13.550 --> 00:15.850
really feel emotional coming over here

00:15.850 --> 00:19.040
and seeing all our young uh women and

00:19.050 --> 00:21.050
men , soldiers , what they're doing

00:21.050 --> 00:23.161

freedom and we really , really

00:24.883 --> 00:27.430
appreciate it . You guys are heroes .

00:27.440 --> 00:29.607
Were just has been hockey players that

00:29.607 --> 00:33.040
are here having a good time . But we're

00:33.050 --> 00:35.570
very supportive of you people over here .

00:35.580 --> 00:37.630
You don't really get a risk for our

00:37.630 --> 00:39.741
hands on it . So you get over here to

00:39.741 --> 00:41.908
see what the world is really like over

00:41.908 --> 00:44.130
here . It's kind of like the highway to

00:44.130 --> 00:46.186
hell as far as I'm concerned , right

00:46.186 --> 00:48.408
through Afghanistan . It's really scary

00:48.408 --> 00:50.574
out there and command you soldiers for

00:50.574 --> 00:52.630
what you're doing , fighting for our

00:52.630 --> 00:54.852
freedom and God bless you all and thank

00:54.852 --> 00:56.797
you for what you're doing , but at

00:56.797 --> 00:59.870
least you stay safe . Uh , question

00:59.950 --> 01:01.610
Yeah ,

01:02.340 --> 01:06.290
Well , we

01:06.290 --> 01:08.068
had a lot of influence from our

01:08.068 --> 01:10.123
Canadian team . We beat them 71 last

01:10.123 --> 01:13.810
night . Believe me , most of those guys

01:13.810 --> 01:16.910
are all over 50 . So we're uh , we

01:16.910 --> 01:19.650
played a technical game . Uh , we

01:19.650 --> 01:21.872
didn't , we know that you guys would be

01:21.872 --> 01:24.210
have quicker legs with us and be able

01:24.210 --> 01:26.340
to outstanding us . You know , we're

01:26.340 --> 01:28.229
getting into this heat that we're

01:28.229 --> 01:30.940
really not quite used to yet . So , uh ,

01:30.950 --> 01:34.090
we just decided to cut the ice up and

01:34.100 --> 01:36.280
let you guys have the ball is going

01:36.280 --> 01:38.502
around the boards , take away to center

01:38.502 --> 01:40.613
ice zone and take our shots . And one

01:40.613 --> 01:42.502
thing we did have a couple of NHL

01:42.502 --> 01:44.502
goaltenders for us and that was the

01:44.502 --> 01:46.669
difference because they can , they can

01:46.669 --> 01:48.836
stand in there and make them safe over

01:48.836 --> 01:48.490
here .

01:52.340 --> 01:54.920
Well , that's it . You know , just ,

01:54.930 --> 01:57.490
we've all done this all our lives , you

01:57.490 --> 01:59.490
know , we grew up as a four or five

01:59.490 --> 02:01.434
year old kids sticking our hands ,

02:01.434 --> 02:03.546
playing ball hockey , road hockey and

02:03.546 --> 02:05.768
uh , so for us , you know , here like ,

02:05.768 --> 02:08.101
you know , this is great at home for us .

02:08.140 --> 02:10.730
But like I said after the first period

02:10.730 --> 02:12.730
yesterday , I had to hit behind the

02:12.730 --> 02:14.841
medical and have a nice puke here for

02:14.841 --> 02:16.841
about 15 minutes . And the heat was

02:16.841 --> 02:19.063
like 40 degrees at 10 o'clock yesterday

02:19.063 --> 02:21.360
here . So wow , it's no place come out

02:21.370 --> 02:23.370
the playing field here . There's no

02:23.370 --> 02:25.592
place to catch your breath . You know ,

02:25.592 --> 02:27.870
we're just overwhelmed from being here .

02:27.870 --> 02:29.926
And uh , the support we had from all

02:29.926 --> 02:31.981
the troops were brought Lord Stanley

02:31.981 --> 02:34.203
Cup here with us and he's really been a

02:34.203 --> 02:37.070
hit and we just can't say enough about

02:37.070 --> 02:39.070
you guys what job you're doing over

02:39.070 --> 02:41.292
here , fighting for our freedom and God

02:41.292 --> 02:42.960
