both tough
It has been tough on both guys. I feel for both of them.
character coming few mistakes team wants win
We showed a lot of character coming back tonight. This team really wants to win and if we can put away a few mistakes it's going to make things a lot easier.
looked power together
We showed a little frustration. We looked a little scrambly on power plays. We didn't play together on the power play tonight.
costs desperate extra hard itself maybe pressure team time
We should play desperate all the time -- why not? This team is so hard on itself that sometimes we put extra pressure on ourselves. Maybe we shouldn't because it costs us sometimes.
behind few good guys hard hurts likes past start team
When you're a young team it's probably better to start from the bottom. It hurts. It hurts a lot. You don't like it. No one likes it. But you learn. Sometimes it's a hard way to learn. That's behind us now and we have to look ahead. I think guys feel pretty good about what's been going on here the past few months.
canada cups glad gold highlight huge importance olympics stanley winning
I always thought winning (two) Stanley Cups would be the highlight of my career, but the Olympics is right up there. The importance of winning gold for Canada was huge at that time. I was glad to be a part of it.
approach given night ready respect
I think it's like the NHL now. Any given night, if you're not ready or you're not focused, anything can happen. So that's the approach you have to take ... respect your opponent.
goal learning scary
He's going to be a scary player. He's young, he's learning - and that was a big goal for us.
behind falling heart open played
Having come back like we did, I think it showed a lot of heart. We played an open game. I think we had to after falling behind early.
definitely good juniors looking past
Looking at his stats -- and what he's done in the past with the world juniors -- he's definitely having a good year.
although canada guys hard love schedule talk
I think guys talk about that, let's make it one or the other. Every two years I think it's hard to get the guys together, especially with the way the NHL schedule is. Although personally, I love the old Canada Cup.
hope sure
I sure hope they won?t let something like that happen.
safe
Yeah, you don?t want to do that. You want to play safe and get it out. But those things happen.
confidence needed practice road trip week win
We needed to get a win and get some confidence. We had a long week of practice going over some things. We did a lot of little things better than we did on the road trip and it really helped.
