along move playing puck room smaller
We didn't do that intentionally. We were playing on smaller ice, so it's a lot more physical. There's not as much room to move, so if you don't move the puck along quickly, you're going to get hit.

cut deserve difference expect less matter maybe olympics perform team time wearing
I expect them to play and perform like they've been performing. They made this team because they deserve it and they're not going to be cut any slack. It doesn't matter to me it's their first Olympics or maybe even their first time wearing the jersey. They made the team because they can play and make a difference and I expect nothing less from them.

We don't like to see any hits like that from either team. But whatever we use to motivate us won't come from the other team. It will come from us.
