We are prepared [for the medal round]. We've worked a lot on the strengths and weaknesses of all the teams including ourselves. We faced a lot of penalty kills today, which was good for us. |
We did a great job and I am really happy for our team. |
We expected Italy to be weak, but we're not going to apologize for winning. |
We expected Italy to be weak. I don't know if we would have predicted that score, but we're not going to apologize for winning by that much. It's the Olympic Games and we've got a gold medal to try and win. |
We haven't faced a lot of adversity in our own end, but I'm sure they'll be fired up when they hear that comment. They'll be ready to go. |
We're expecting to go over and win the gold and defend the gold medal. Anything less would be disappointing for us. We know what we have to do. It's just a matter of doing it on the day when it counts the most. |
We've been in pressure games a lot over the years, so we're used to it. We, by no means, think we've got this thing in the bag. |
What you'd like to see from a young player is they have to come into camp confident enough to take somebody's spot. You see that a lot more in men's hockey than you do in the women's game. |
When I got the second goal, I knew I had 100 goals so one of my teammates, Gillian Apps, grabbed the puck for me. |
You don't want to leave anything to chance. Unfortunately, because I hate blowing teams out like that. |
You'd never see that on a men's team with a little baby on the bus who is crying at midnight. All the girls enjoy having him around. It's refreshing if it makes her feel comfortable, we're fine with it. |
