Everything has gone well so far, but as we saw tonight, it's a one-game showdown of 60 minutes. I expect them to be the best Swedish team we've seen ever probably. |
It's a great thing to have that confidence, but I know things can turn pretty quickly. These games are stepping stones along the way, but we know that big game in February is the one that counts. |
It's a momentum booster. It's one thing we wanted to do, is start out strong because that's been one of our weaknesses this season. |
The staff is always excited when we come in to talk hockey. Our health is the most important thing and being in a contact sport is very demanding. Having that support there, whether it be doctors or whoever, is usually important to our success and it's something we wouldn't be successful without. |
When we thought about playing for the gold medal, in our heads our vision was always playing against the Americans. It was definitely a surprise. They've been a great team. But it's also an exciting game for Sweden. |
You don't come here to get in shape. You come here the best shape you can be and try to fight for a spot. |
