We've done this before. We have to guard against win two, lose two, win two, lose one. That's where we are at right now.

It's huge to win the division. It's another step for this franchise and another important accomplishment.
hearing hold puck sick talented talking win
It shouldn't be like this. We know what to do and what to do to make it happen. We are all sick of hearing about it and talking about it. We have to do it. We have to win the battles. We are talented enough to win the puck and hold the puck.
against beat bitterness canadian country except gold good level mean played pride teams win
There are a lot of good teams there and just because you put on a Canadian jersey, it doesn't mean you're going to win. But that's the pride our country has. Those are the expectations and there's bitterness when you don't get it done. There's nothing else we wanted to do except win the gold medal. And a lot of countries, they just want to beat Canada. They played at a whole new level against us.
good third tie win
We're good enough to win anywhere. We had a 2-2 tie in the third and we didn't get it done.

We're just not doing enough right now. We're not trying to win games, we're just hoping. You can use a lot of fancy words but there's no other way to put it.
bad good pressure team teams win
When you've had a good team for that many years, the pressure will mount. There's only so many teams that can win, so it's not like they're bad players. But they're like everyone else - they want to win this thing.

This was not a step backward. If we play like that every night, we're going to win 80 percent of our games.

The hard part for us was getting in. We feel now we can start over here and try to do something. We have proven we can win in the playoffs.

We just got along great. It put you as part of a team. You needed everybody you had. That sometimes gets lost today.
against games six stop
We scored six against Philly, but we've got to stop having these games where we're 1-1. We need more desperation offensively.

It was tough to get our emotional level up all day.

Isn't it funny? After all the quality chances, that one goes in.
against canada game hard harder pretend
They all play hard and they play harder against Canada. We're not going to take that game off and pretend it's a practice.
