against effort five game good guys hot satisfied throughout
I think the guys are pretty satisfied with our effort throughout the first five games. Now we've got a good game against Finland, which is a very hot team.
happy played
I thought we played well enough to win. We aren't happy with our results, but I think we happy with our effort.
special
I think it's pretty special and he's having a blast.
gate great guys realize
I think it's really important for the guys to realize how important it is to get out to a great start. We've got to come out of the gate ready.
against game loss
Right now, with a tie, a loss and a win, we've got to come up with a big game against Sweden.
again generate guys looking outcome played win
Physically, I'm fine. We're looking for offense, we're down a goal, so we got the guys there to try and generate some offense. Obviously, we're disappointed with the outcome again like the first game, but we can't be frustrated. I thought we played well enough to win it, it's just they played well, too.
chasing excuse game god good great needed point reason teams thank total ways whatever win
For whatever reason we did get complacent. For a game we had total control, we were winning, great teams find ways to win and keep leads, especially at this point in the season. There's no excuse for it. But thank God it wasn't a team that (was) chasing us or needed the points, which was a good thing.
almost front knew nervous played playing
I almost played my way off that team, probably because I was so nervous playing in front of Don. I knew I was on the bubble.
great looks needed
He looks big in there and made some great saves. When he needed to make the big saves, he did.
couple good stress
We're on a pretty good roll. We stress being aggressive, but you get bounces, too. They (the Avalanche) had a couple of (scoring) chances. We try to make them make a really good play if we're going to get beat. Right now, it's working pretty well.
against bit difference goal robert specialty team teams winning
Against a team like that, you have to get bounces. They had some opportunities in the end. We executed on our five-on-three ( Robert Lang 's winning goal was with a two-man-advantage) and they didn't. Specialty teams were a bit of a difference tonight.
chance gold olympic position thankful
I didn't think I would be in this position in September. I'm just thankful for another chance at an Olympic gold medal.
against found good occasions ourselves talented teams win
Good teams find a way to win and we didn't do that. We found ourselves against 5-on-3 on two occasions and you can't do that against a talented team such as Finland.
good teams win
Good teams find a way to win and we didn't do that.
