game hockey ourselves second wore
The story of the hockey game was the second period. I thought we wore ourselves out killing penalties.
games play careers
I understand how much everyone wanted to see a British winner at Wimbledon and I hope everyone enjoyed it. I worked so hard in that last game. It's the hardest few points I've had to play in my life. I don't know how I came through the final three points... that last game ... my head was kind of everywhere. That last game will be the toughest game I'll play in my career, ever.
kids years games
I try to anticipate the ball well. That's something that's helped me since when I was a kid. Just learning to anticipate and read the game well. That's helped me. When I moved over to Spain and I was 15 I was playing with big guys who were 22 years to 28 years old and I was 15 so I couldn't beat them with power. I had to beat them with touch shots and variety and anticipation and all of those things. I learned a lot when I was over there.
games tennis elements
I wouldn't say I'm a spender in the sense that I'm going out on huge spending sprees. However, to be able to function at the top of your game on the professional tennis circuit often requires an element of frequent spending.
beating feeling game ourselves win
We're beating ourselves up mentally. We need to win a game to get the feeling going.
game great played solid
I didn't play a great game at 6-5 but I played a pretty solid one.
composure found guess liked relate talked
I liked the way we responded. One of the things we talked about was composure. I guess you could say we had composure because we got the game-winning goal. I don't know how you relate that, but we found a way to get a win.
hard trying
I've been working hard on my composure, trying not to show much emotion.
break hold serve sick taking tough
It was pretty tough to go and hold your serve after taking a break as long as that. I didn't feel sick at all after that. It didn't make a difference.
annoyed bit gotten time
It was pretty funny. I was just a little bit annoyed at the time because I'd gotten a bit of momentum. Then, obviously, I had to stop.
beat court great
It's great just to be on the court with him. To beat him is amazing.
good penalty power tonight took
Tonight we took some unnecessary penalties. Our penalty kill was not good and their power play was good.
certainly earlier penalty rankings shot
We go by the rankings we have in practice, and he certainly was one of our better ones. He scored on a penalty shot earlier this year.
determination fall goals great scoring
Vancouver's got such a great team. To fall down two goals to them (and come back), showed a lot of determination on the part of our team. I thought we had the better scoring chances.
