advantage loved move talked third
I would have loved to get a 2-0 lead, there's no question. We talked about it going into the third and it would have been a big advantage for us, but now we didn't so we've got to move on.
move puck skilled team tough
We're a very skilled team. When we move the puck the way we're capable, we're a tough team to play.
gold learn move nobody
But you learn from it and you move on. Nobody can take this (pointing at his gold medal) away from us, either.
business glad last learned locked move nobody proud side three time tough work year
I learned a lot in the last three years ... especially about the business side of hockey. I'm proud of the work I've done and I was glad to be involved. But I just think it's time for me to move on. This was a tough three years ... especially last year because nobody wanted to be locked out.
agreement bargaining believe collective everybody good job man move support sure ted wants
I'm sure everybody is going to support Ted Saskin because he is the right man for the job. He did a good job for us in the collective bargaining agreement negotiations and I believe everybody wants to move forward.
fun knew lose rest tried
We tried today, no question. We knew we were in the quarter-finals with not much rest between games, but it's not fun to lose any game.
biggest ready
We were ready to play from the beginning, that's the biggest thing we take from this win.
allowed controlled gave good obviously puck start
We controlled the puck pretty well. We got off to a good start start, and obviously that gave us the win. It put them back on their heels. That allowed us to play a lot smarter.
deep fact forget game half periods played puck second wore
The second half of the game I thought we played really well. We were able to get the puck in deep and we were able to keep them in their end for long periods of time, forget that fact we haven't done a whole lot lately, and we just wore them down, I think.
black near stick switched tape white
I used black tape the whole game, but switched to an old stick that had white near the end.
confidence
Things are going well, you know, and confidence is a big thing.
best few knows last quite tournament
There's quite a few of us that are a little over 30 and who knows this may be our last big tournament together, we want to make the best out of it.
confidence finding
Right now, we've got a lot of confidence and we're finding each other on the ice.
confidence great playing
Ray's been playing great for us and we have a lot of confidence in him.
