The biggest improvement I think is that we work hard as a team. You need five people on the ice. From a defensive point, they did a really good job in front of me. They scored only two power play goals. So defensively, I have seen a big improvement. |
There is some talk that maybe in the preliminary round we both kind of play and the coaches make a decision (for the medal round). That's what I'm thinking maybe, but I'm not sure. |
They didn't give us anything. Even in the third period we had maybe one or two chances. They played a great defensive game. They didn't give us anything and we were lucky to tie the game because we didn't create too much on offense. They played a great game for 60 or 65 minutes. |
They were the better team in the second 30 minutes and that's why they won. |
To go up two goals in the third period doesn't mean you're going to win the game. Two years ago maybe, but not with the new rules. |

We definitely played a much stronger game. From the defensive point, we did a good job. They only scored two goals. |
We gave up a two goal lead so we were lucky to tie the game. At least we won the shootout. |
We have a lot of confidence on this team. We know we have skill players who can score the goals. |
We just lost one game, we're not out of play. We have so many good players. I think we've got the team to be successful. |
We know that the Flyers always come out hard in this building. We made too many mistakes. |
We played a really strong defensive game. The 5-on-3s were the key. We killed them off and that was important for our success. |
We were very focused, very concentrated before the game and you could see it on the ice. Today was one of the best games we played this year. |
We've been struggling since Christmas. We played a good game, but unfortunately it wasn't enough for us to win it. |
What can I say about tonight's shutout? It was the easiest shutout I've ever had in the NHL. I know it counts in the statistics but for us it's an important win. |
