Eric Staal Quotes
I think I'm playing the wrong position because there's so many great players from Canada. They won Olympic gold last time. There's so many good players that are going to get a really good look. You never know. I'm just going to continue to do my best this year. I mean, if they give me a shot, they give me a shot. If not, maybe next time. I'm going to continue to push myself and be the best I can.
