I think, when you don't score on the five-on-threes, from the coaching standpoint, you really feel haunted. |
I thought Finland played with maximum energy, while we started at about 80 percent. When Parsons got [our second] goal, I thought we started to play at our speed, and we really got our energy back. |
I was a little concerned that somebody we consider a pillar on our team wasn't ready when the bell rang. It was one of those, 'All ashore that's going ashore,' and she wasn't ready to go. |
I'm impressed with our team's effort. Josh is a powerful scorer. We tried to move the ball around and shake them up and Josh took advantage. |
In Shelley's case ... she's left parts of her body in rinks all over the world. Now it's up to the players left in the program not to fill that footprint -- those are special players -- but just to be able to line up alongside it. |
In the scheme of things, there was plenty of time. |
It isn't the same game it was four years ago, or even one year ago. We're a much different team, and the Canadians have made changes as well. The rest of the world is getting better every day. You've got to meet those challenges head-on, or you're going to get caught from behind. |
It's a symbolic donation. We are having an impact even beyond our graduation. |
It's been a very long, arduous road back for her. But in the last month, we've seen what we always expected from Pam. |
It's fun to watch. To see someone grow, not just as an athlete, from a teenager to a mom. She's a great player who continues to be a pivotal player for the team. |
It's important to the community. |
Like all players, if they choose to try to play forever, their number is liable to come up. And in this situation ... (Cammi) and Shelley didn't have a chair when the music stopped. |
Natural-gas storage is one gigantic bear -- and each week it grows bigger. |
Nobody came into our camp thinking they've got it made. That might not have been the case in 1998 and maybe even 2002. |
Obviously, Canada is the No. 1 team on our hit list. But our team is shaping up quite nicely for a strong run at the (gold) medal. |
