answered hope
I hope I answered that. I just don't want to be premature. We're excited, that's the point.
happy looked noticed recovered shown trauma tv
They looked real happy to be home. They looked a little thinner, ... They looked as if they'd recovered from some of the trauma we had noticed (when they were shown on Serb TV shortly after their capture).
crazy evaluate guys
I don't know how to evaluate tonight. I said to our guys there were just so many fluky goals, crazy penalties.
extremely good happy played states sweden team united won
He played extremely well. Sweden was a good team and they were very deserving. If it wasn't going to be the United States that won gold, I was happy for him.
certainly chance credit earn experience given guy last line offensive opportunity produce relate shown side spot team trying year
I can relate to him just through the experience that he's been through in the past. He's a guy who has been in and out of the lineup or has been on the back end of the lineup and was trying to earn a spot on the team or find his niche. Certainly last year he was given an opportunity to play on an offensive line and have the chance to produce on the offensive side of the equation, and to his credit he's shown that he's capable.
advantage career certainly compliment few guy hockey ingredient last leagues older opportunity persevere persistent played strive success taken
He's an older guy who's played a lot of hockey in a lot of different leagues and for him to persevere and to be persistent with his career and strive to get to the NHL I think is a compliment to his character. He's certainly taken advantage of an opportunity and he has been a key ingredient in us having some success in the last few weeks.

He's an exciting player to watch. I think he's going to have a pretty bright career in this league. For as young as he is, he sure is dynamic.
decision net percent providence strong sure
He's not 100 percent yet, and we want to make sure that he's strong and comfortable going into the net before we put him in. Providence is a decision we will probably make.
couple hockey tried
The first part of the game, we tried to do what we wanted and that's why we got up a couple of goals. But there was a lot of hockey left.
against dynamic given great hands matter players plays three
All three are dynamic players and great 1-on-1 players. No matter who plays against them on any given night, they have their hands full.

It will go back up, but I don't know if it will go quite as high.
