He was happy and I wasn't. That's the way the game goes. |
It was just one of those days. |
That's probably one we'd like to have back. We got on our heels a little bit. |
They were good at the time but they certainly didn't help us for the final. |
They're a quick team, they get a lot of people jumping into the rush. We did a lot of good things today and our structure and cohesion should be better now that we've played a game together. |
Those last two games were blowouts. They were good at the time but they certainly didn't help us for the final. |
We had a little lull in the first period but other than that we played pretty good. Our composure was good, we played pretty hard as well. |
We just felt that our start was going to be real important because this was their fourth game in four days and they'd been eliminated from the tournament. So we wanted to make sure our pace was real high early and our tenacity was good early to try and get them disheartened. |
We just have to do it ourselves. |
We just really wanted to open it up more. When you do that, you leave yourself exposed defensively. |
We were the only country here not using NHL players. We played well last year but we're where we want to be this year and now we want to finish it off. |
We're disappointed, without question. It just seemed like one of those games where our shots would hit ankles or hit sticks. It just didn't seem like we had a lot of things going right for us. |
