They all seem to be big games. We've just got to keep winning, it doesn't matter who the opponent is. We've got to keep our foot on the gas. |
They moved it around, and they got the back door chance they were looking for. Marty was really keen to know to know the guy was there and get over to cover the low one. |
They work very hard and they have nothing to lose, and that makes them dangerous. It seemed to me like we were on our heels a little bit in the first period. We need to be on our toes. |
They're relentless in their attack. |
They've got a great team. |
They've got a really good team. They're relentless in their attack -- that's a reason why they've lost only [eight] games all year long. ? I thought Cam Ward played great. He made a lot of big saves. As the game went on, he seemed to get better. |

They've taken a lot of points from us, and we're going to have to be ready. They'll be coming in here with a purpose. |
Things were bouncing funny out there tonight, it seemed all night. It was a real good win for us because we had to work for it. We had to keep battling to get the two points, and I think those kinds of wins make you earn your stripes. |
This is a highly skilled (Slovak) team, a lot like the Czech team. They want puck possession. They want to control the play with the puck. They want to move the puck. Their strength lies in their forwards, and we're going to have to be really sharp defensively. |
This isn't a bone they've been thrown. They've worn the sweater before and they've earned the right to be here at this camp. I hope that they're looking at this to try and make the Olympic team. |
This will be challenging for everybody, ... Ultimately, I think the team that pulls it together and plays the best team hockey, the best team concept -- whatever that concept is -- will have the best chance of being successful. |

Those are great decisions to have to make. Not only who makes the team, but who gets the playing time. |
Three games in now, and our power play isn't producing and it's costing us games, ... We're going to continue to work on it. It's early, but we need to put some pucks in the net. |
