At the beginning of the Games, we were looking to win one color and, in the end, we're taking home a different one. |
Before, I was the baby of the team and now, even though I'm not the oldest, I have more experience than almost anyone, ... I'll never be able to fill their shoes, but I know my role has changed a little bit. Their legacy has inspired every single person on this team. |
Cammi and Shelley set the foundation for the program. When I came in, I idolized them, but it was time to move on. All I know is, I'm going to miss them tremendously. |
Cammi is USA Hockey, really. Every single player on our roster has learned something from Cammi Granato and she'll leave that legacy whether she's here or not. |
I came here to win a gold medal. But am I proud of our team? Yes. We showed a lot of character after hitting rock bottom after the loss to Sweden. No one expected to be playing for the bronze. |
I came here to win a gold. That's what I wanted. But am I proud of our team? Yes. |
I have enough muscle already. Now I want to use it in more efficient ways. |
I know I'm going to play next year, but four years is a long time. I just don't know whether I can do it yet. |
I live to play Canada. It's one of the biggest rivalries in the sport because it always comes down to the U.S and Canada. |
I love the physical part of the game, and I don't back down from it. I've been in fights in beer-league games back home. But the rules are there for a reason, especially when you're playing a team that's not as big and strong as you are. |
I play hockey to beat Canada. |
I remember every single one of these kids. |
I think all the teams have raised the bar. It's a much better game today. If I was the same player who tried out in '98 today, I wouldn't make the team. |
I think Americans expect gold. You're idolized when you win a gold medal. We really put our lives on hold for this long. We've got a lot inside of us right now. |
I think it's sad. For all of Canada to be upset with the United States for something that didn't happen... |
