It's not something I sit up thinking about to complete me as a player, but once we get into it I'm going to want to win like crazy. I definitely want to win the tournament, and if that comes with gold that would be awesome.
It's probably a good thing to fly under the radar a little bit. Like any other poll or prediction, you want to be on top at the end, not the beginning.
It was kind of a strange 10 or 15 minutes. Whoever we got, we got. Either way, I think we'll be ready.
It's great when he's on because he can find the net. As he gets older, I think he'll be less streaky and just more consistent. But he's doing all right as a streaky guy right now anyway.
I think the important thing is we've just got to grow as a team. You can't just learn and grow together with wins, you also have to do it with losses.
Those were some tough losses. Responding to them was a pretty big step for our team confidence-wise.
We definitely had the bounces going our way.
Our power play certainly wasn't as sharp as it was the previous game. They got a couple of bounces in the second period and that's your game.
Our schedule is extremely condensed, but I think a lot of it is just keeping your focus, especially if you get on a good roll. You've just got to focus each and every game and get prepared mentally and physically for the next outing, because there's not much time between games.
They've been skating the heck out of him. Obviously, a game is different than practice, but he's been working extremely hard. I wouldn't be surprised if he slides right in and does well right off the bat.
That's more our game. We were able to play our style. But we'll take them any way we can get them right now.
As a group we're kind of limping in there, so despite being one point away it's still a frustrating night. We came here to get two points, and we didn't.
I think we're pretty fearless. We just kind of find a way. Nothing really fazes us.
Just simple stuff, little 5-foot passes, simple passes, we were just missing them.
