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.
business cost giving great leads life point teams win
We had no business giving (Columbus) any life ... it cost us a point. Great teams find a way to keep leads and win especially at this point in the season.
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.
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.
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.
days excuses five game good great last maybe teams until win
Maybe the five days (off) will do me good in the long run. It (the Olympics) was a great experience. Up until the last game we were in every game. You can make all the excuses in the world but good teams find a way to win and we never did that.
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.
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.
coming
We're getting better every game. I don't think any of us can be getting frustrated. But we've got to do something constructive coming out of the round-robin.
country college bars
I've had some of the best times of my life at The KK. The best staff at the greatest college bar in the country!
running hockey nhl
So here I am running at guys who aren't taller than 5-foot-8, and I'm the one who tears up his knee.
liars believe nhl
Guys like him ruin it for everybody else. It's just embarrassing. Or maybe he's not embarrassed because he probably believes he's not doing it-that's how liars are.
emotional thinking talking
I'm 100 percent sure this is it. I know that I'll never play in the NHL again. It's not a hard decision. I think the hardest thing is you get a little emotional talking about your family. I couldn't have played any longer than I did and I accomplished what I wanted to.
