bottom games goal hockey keeping line opposition sure win
The bottom line is we have to win hockey games and we've got to be one goal or more better than our opposition to do that. Let's just make sure we're keeping pucks out of our own net.
call far opportunity review suspension trust worth
The call was made. They had the opportunity to review it. As far as the IIHF was concerned, they didn't feel it was worth a suspension or worth a review. I trust them on that.
caught happens later whatever worry year
I am doing what I am doing for this year and I will worry about whatever happens later on. I don't want to get caught up in that.
good heard
Like I said, all we've heard is Dec. 31, Dec. 31, New Year's Eve, New Year's Eve, Canada-USA, Canada-USA. Now it's here. This is the game. This is the game. Now that's a good thing.
against both generally hockey maybe teams waited
Maybe they'll play differently against us; I don't know. I thought both teams (last night) were generally very trapping hockey teams and they waited for opportunities.
high importance kids knows obviously team uptight whether
Obviously the team knows the importance of the game. Whether the kids get too high or too uptight ... we'll see what they're like during the day.
discipline
It's how we play as a team, the discipline in our own game.
decided fine opportunity review worth
They had an opportunity to review it and decided it was not worth reviewing. I'm fine with that.
challenged couple good junior others players program sitting stands
There were a couple of players who were more responsible about it than others and I challenged them. I told them, 'Buy into the program or you don't play and how embarrassing would that be if you're sitting in the stands at the world junior championship and you're a good player?
against ahead brief fancy few game gave goals good instinct kept needed net player puck shots tonight
It's an instinct, sometimes as a player when you get up a few goals you can get a little too fancy and get away from your game plan, but for the most part it was very brief tonight. We kept the puck going ahead tonight. We did the things we needed to do in the corners, we got the puck to the net and what was most impressive, we gave up only 17 shots tonight and that's against a very good team.
We're going to make mistakes, I know we are. But they will be corrected.
dressing good knew
In our dressing room, we knew we have good goaltending.
bother goes seems strut
I just like his mindset, his attitude. Nothing seems to bother him and he's a got a little strut that goes with it.
drafted impressive man saw seen surprised time
I haven't seen anything that's surprised me, ... I saw him a lot before we drafted him. He's an impressive young man and an impressive young player. He's got a long way to go, but he's going to play in the NHL for a long time one day.
