I have never taken a shot like that to my neck in a game. It was scary.

From every angle that you look at it, it was important. You want to separate from ninth place as much as possible. It seems like everyone is winning, so we need points.

A couple of times it was by my own players. But I've got to learn to deal with traffic. Maybe that's something I need to address in practice, just fighting through screens.

You got to have dreams and obviously that [the Vezina Trophy] is one of them, ... I want to be the best goalie in the league, not because I think I will be one day just because you have to set your goals as high as you can. I want to win it one day. I'll do everything I can, and I'll know that if I don't win it, that at least I did everything I could. And that's more important to me than actually winning it.

For me, having a medal from the Olympics is great. If I never play again for the Czech team, I have a medal from the World Championship (gold last year) and now the Olympics.

Playing for the bronze was hard because losing the semi-final was very breaking. We are disappointed for what happened with Sweden but I'm happy with the medal.
