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.
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.

Well, you can never say that. I mean, it's hindsight. But skill-wise, talent-wise, I'd say he's up there with anybody. There's no one that was better than him that I played against.

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.

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.

I started with him. We were rookies together. I've known him a long time. Aside from the health issues, he probably was or is one of the greatest ever. ... As far as one-on-one skill, I don't think there's anybody better.
confidence country game higher level lose putting realize slovakia thick top upsets win worry
Our confidence level should be a lot higher now after putting out a game like that (against Kazakhstan). If you look at the upsets that have happened, you realize that every country is in the thick of it. If you win a game, you are on top of the world and if you lose one, you are back in the pack. We have to worry about Slovakia and win that game.
