I was pretty surprised. I didn't go to the orientation camp and I haven't done a lot of stuff with USA Hockey. ... They're just going with anybody they feel can help them. |
I'm fighting [the puck] so much, I don't even want it. Usually I want it, I want to carry it, I want to make the plays, but I'm trying to get rid of it. It's like I'm saying, 'I'm not going good so I don't want it.' That's not what will make me effective. I'm disappointed, frustrated, a lot of things. You can't sleep at night and think about what I'm doing. I know you have to let it go, but with my personality, it's hard for me to let it go. |
If we get them back, that's great. But until then, everyone else is going to pick it up. We can't cry about it now. We've got only 22 games left and we've got to go out there and get it done. |
It is a tie and we played for a win, but we do not have to worry about the rest of the tournament. |
It was huge for this team. We had a bad stretch and now we're trying to turn this thing around. We just had to find ways to win. We're down two (goals) to one of the top teams in their building and we battled back. We're starting to roll again. It's a good feeling. |
It's always a tough thing. He was playing so well in the beginning of the year and then his back acted up. It would have been nice to fly over with him. |
It's always on. I watch the tape and I look in the stands behind the bench and I see people I knew growing up in my hometown. |
It's disappointing. The team's better than we showed, and that's the problem. We just weren't able to find any wins. |
It's probably way too late now to book a flight on the Concorde, but people can still get the high-end treatment with executive jet leasing programs, ... A few of these companies are offering deals for about $5,000 that include a flight across the country, a night at the luxury hotel and formal dinner. If you've got the financial wherewithal to spend that kind of money, there are any number of ways to do it. |
It's tough. We feel like we're working hard and winning battles, but we aren't able to find the back of the net. We have to find something deep inside and start scoring goals. |
Maybe that first period scared them a little -- it scared us, too, |
Not being able to capitalize is our problem. |
Off the ice? He's just one of the guys you enjoy being around. He's a good friend. He would do anything for you. He would do anything for this game. |
Our team has under performed to this point in the season, ... This change was necessary to advance our team to a greater level of success. |
That kind of epitomizes the way the tournament's been going for us. |
