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.
feels good
It?s good for you. It feels good. Once in a while.
anyone behind closer good score sure
It was closer than the score indicated and we just wanted to make sure that we didn't let anyone behind us, and we did a good job, especially in the first.
age department depth dressing good guys last leaders leaders-and-leadership leadership matter tournament
Last tournament (2004 World Cup), there were so many good leaders in that dressing room, guys know what's on the line. I think we have a lot of depth in the leadership department no matter what the age is.
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.
coming game good last pepsi since time
I haven't had a lot of time to think about coming back because I just got back. I haven't been here since last May. It's been a while. . . . It will be good to play a game back at the Pepsi Center.
everybody room
Everybody in that room is disappointed right now. That's just the way it is.
forget lead obviously pressure tonight
There's obviously pressure for us to be there. When they got the lead tonight we were tentative, it's like it was in our nerves. We have to forget about that and regroup.
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.
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.
home
To come home like this . . . It?s disappointing, to say the least.
behind fight game heart holiday open played tonight
Having to fight back like we did I think showed a lot of heart. We played an open game tonight and I think we had to do that after getting behind early. We just have to get back to things after the holiday and go back to work.
safe
Yeah, you don?t want to do that. You want to play safe and get it out. But those things happen.
