That's what made the difference. We knew that to stay back and wait for them would make it worse for us. We pressured them hard, because this team plays good in the neutral zone. We didn't leave too many pucks in there and that was the key for us. |
They've got a good goalie and they play good in five-man units. I'd say it will be close and special teams may be the difference. So we'd like to stay out of the box a little more. |
We didn't give Milan much help. It doesn't matter who is in net, if you don't help them, especially against a team like Sweden, you are not going to win. |
We just did simple things. They weren't huge plays. We made one or two passes and it was in the net. |
We knew we had to keep coming. We didn't hold back and we pressured them hard. |
We'll take whatever is there. It doesn't matter who takes the shot. |
We're never going to give back. |
You know Mats will never give up. He works so hard in practice and he is the last guy to leave the gym. It's good for the young guys to see that. |
