It was a pretty even game. I'm disappointed with the outcome, but they're a good team. |
It's a disappointing outcome again, like the first game, but I thought we played well. That's a good team. |
It's good to see a veteran player get a job. Great team guy. Credit to him to go back to school and get his degree. Better (to) have Stu there than some lawyer we don't know. |
It's not his desire, it's how he can handle it physically. He hasn't told me a word. |
It's not often that game is held in your home city. It will be exciting around here. |
It's not too often you get a chance to be in your home city for the Super Bowl. I'm looking forward to it, anyway, the week leading up to it, all the people coming into town. |
It's one of the few things I haven't accomplished. A great way to end my career with the U.S. hockey team. |
It's our job to get them ready and prepare them. Let them know how important each game is and really be ready off the get-go. |
Manny came up with some big saves. The difference was we scored on our 5-on-3 and they did not. |
Maybe the five days (off) will do me good in the long run. It (the Olympics) was a great experience. Up until the last game we were in every game. You can make all the excuses in the world but good teams find a way to win and we never did that. |
Maybe we were a little too fancy at times and we just need to get the puck into the net. We made a few mistakes, a little bit over aggressive and if you make mistakes against a quality team like this they will burn you. I think we will get better as the rest of the tournament goes on. |
Nike is renting it out for the whole week. |
Obviously, we're disappointed with the outcome again, like the first game, but we can't be frustrated. That's a good team we played. I thought we played well enough to win but they played well, too. |
Our confidence level should be a lot higher now after putting out a game like that (against Kazakhstan). If you look at the upsets that have happened, you realize that every country is in the thick of it. If you win a game, you are on top of the world and if you lose one, you are back in the pack. We have to worry about Slovakia and win that game. |
Our special teams, again, we didn't score on our power play, they did. We took some bad penalties. We stay out of the box, no problem, we're in total control. |
