hockey thinking play
It takes brains. It's not like a forward, where you can get away with scoring and not play defense. On defense you have to be thinking.
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.
call depends guess negative players support
It all depends on how the referees call it. We've been through that before. All the players are told to support it and not be negative in the beginning, so I guess we'll just go with that.
discourage obscure people players possible
That's the most obscure place you could have it. Most players won't go. I think he set up to discourage as many people as possible from going.
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.
adjusted couple fortunate game instead kept patient played puck puts spread transition turning
We played a patient game, and we were fortunate to get a couple at the end there. They spread you out, they play pretty offensive, those first two lines, which sometimes puts you on your heels, and I think instead of going after them in the transition game, we kept turning the puck over. But as the game went on, we adjusted to that.
couple fortunate game patient played
We played a patient game and we were fortunate to get a couple at the end.
credit good great lawyer player school team veteran
It's good to see a veteran player get a job. Great team guy. Credit to him to go back to school and get his degree. Better (to) have Stu there than some lawyer we don't know.
beginning best biggest brooks good guys herb high intensity level needed playing start stressed time treat understand
The biggest thing we stressed with (coach) Herb Brooks was that we needed to get off to a good start and to play with intensity right from the beginning of the tournament. That's the way we have to treat the Olympics. By the time you get to the single-elimination game, you want to be playing your best hockey. We are going to have to make the young guys understand that ... getting our intensity level high right from the beginning.
passion played won
We wanted to play with passion and excitement, and we did that. We could have very well have won the game. We played well enough to win.
again aside full game happened minutes played series
Aside from the first game of the series we never played a full 60 minutes and it happened again tonight. I don't know why.
depending guys heal high hopefully last maybe middle opportunity playing quick season
We've got a lot of guys at camp, so it's an opportunity for maybe one of them. But, they had high expectations of (Nik). You could see the way he was playing so far, what he did last year. They were depending on him a lot this year. Hopefully he'll heal quick and be here for the middle of the season and the remainder of the season and the playoffs.
good outcome played
It's a disappointing outcome again, like the first game, but I thought we played well. That's a good team.
good outcome played team win
Obviously, we're disappointed with the outcome again, like the first game, but we can't be frustrated. That's a good team we played. I thought we played well enough to win but they played well, too.
