english forward improved learned since speak steps talk training work
I've improved a lot since my first year, even since my first training camp, ... I think I've made steps forward each year. I didn't speak English when I first got here, I didn't know where to go and I didn't know anybody. That was intimidating. But to see Patrick and to talk to him and work with him every day, that was great. I learned a lot and I know I'm ready.
great
It was a great atmosphere, I made some saves, but we're here to win.
chant name nicer
It's nicer to have them chant your name than to do the opposite.
beat good played second third
It's good for us to play the way we played in the second and third period, I mean, we can beat anybody.
careful great hockey swiss
It's great for Swiss hockey that we won. We have to be careful because it's one game.
hard highest move played puck scoring seen teams time work
It was the first time I had seen them. They work hard and move the puck pretty well. They have one of the highest scoring teams so I know you can't give them too much. I thought we played well for 50 minutes.
bounce double lucky past playing record shows since
It was a double deflection, and he just couldn't put it past me. I got a lucky bounce there. Since Jan. 1, I've been playing much better, and our record shows that.
almost athlete chance great honor olympic patriotic
It's a great chance for an athlete to be in an Olympic Games, and its an honor to play for your country. I'm not back often; you almost get more patriotic because you don't live in Switzerland.

I tried to go get (the puck), and it jumped over my stick, and I couldn't play it where it landed.

We are going to have to win over Germany and Italy, that's where we focus.
against couple enjoy germany hours moment win
We're going to have to win against Germany and Italy. We have to enjoy this moment for a couple of hours today.
good point previous
Unfortunately, we didn't play as good as we did the previous two games, but we were able to get the point that allows us to go into the quarter-finals.
chances good help job pressure team tonight
They had some good chances in the first period, but I made some pretty good saves. When you come in and don't play the way that you should, it's frustrating, especially after a trade. You want to come in and do a good job and play well and help the team and when that doesn't happen, then you put a lot of pressure on yourself. It was good tonight to get two points.
advantage bodies front good happy hard moving period worked
A six-on-four is never easy. There's so many bodies in front of the net. I feel pretty good the way I'm moving right now. I worked hard on it during the period where I didn't play much, so I'm happy that I could take advantage of that time.
