care families plans stuff taken
Yeah, we had to do it. But that stuff was all taken care of before we got over here. Our families were pretty much set, the plans were set when we got over here. So I don't know about that.
chasing gave guess needed points regardless team
We needed the two points regardless if we gave one away. I guess that is the team to do it (against), they're at the top, and not to a team that is chasing you. We got the two points that we needed tonight.
couple playing
It's frustrating because we're playing well, we just need a couple bounces.
care destiny
I want to take care of our own destiny. We don't want to back into it.
wins worry
I just worry about the wins right now.
game playing sharp start weird
It was kind of a weird game from start to finish. It wasn't as sharp as we have been playing lately, but it's still two points.
battle cracked hard month
They cracked down so much the first month that it was hard to know what you could get away with. Now you can battle for the puck.
stuck win
You thought they were down and out, for sure. But they stuck with it and got some confidence. Once you win the first one, you never know.
easier frustrated main nice obviously points
It's nice obviously getting it out of the way. The main thing was getting the two points tonight. That's why I was frustrated about having all those chances. It would have made things a lot easier on us.
definitely playoff
It's definitely going to be a playoff atmosphere.
extra
It's an extra little thing to come back.
came gold
It's disappointing, obviously, because we came here for the gold medal, a medal.
care reason small taking
We just keep the same routine, the same mind-set. The reason why we were doing well is because we were doing the small things out there. That's what we need to get back to ? taking care of those details.
careful guys obviously problem situation supplement
You have to think there are guys that do it, but I don't think it's a problem with the sport by any means. I don't know the situation, but there's obviously more to the supplement than you know about. It's an unfortunate situation and that's why you have to so careful nowadays.
