accomplish bring bunch guys information playing somehow
You have a bunch of guys from a bunch of different places, playing a bunch of different ways. You have to somehow corral them and try to bring them in as one, ... We didn't accomplish that here this week, but we did give them the information how we're going to try to do that.
frustrated good guys job last moving nice puck third
The power-play guys have got to be exhausted. But I thought they did a pretty good job of moving the puck around. It was nice to get the last one. We were getting frustrated there in the third period.
choice detroit name played usa
When Don and I talked, Chris' name popped up immediately. Not only because of how well he has played with Detroit this season, but because of the way he has represented USA Hockey... it made the choice easy.
road time trip trust
Trust me, when (the road trip is) over it'll be time to get home.
brand carolina game hockey kicked played third
We got lulled into a game that was not our brand of hockey. Then we kicked in, and we played Carolina Hurricanes hockey in the third period.
came except five flat guys minute period playing start
We were playing well except for that five minute period where we came out flat to start the third. Then the guys went back to work.
again against came few firing found happen net period second works
We weren't able to find the back of the net again in the first period, and they found the back of ours. I think that works against you. We came out in the second period and started firing it in the net and found some success. We could've had a few more, but it didn't happen for us.
best earned guarantee team
I can guarantee that's not why they're on the team. They're on the team because they've earned it. Bret Hedican is on his way to one of his best years in the league.
finish picked somebody talk win
Somebody has to be the favorite, somebody has to be picked to win the bronze, and somebody has to be picked to finish seventh. There's a lot of talk about us ? not in those first two categories, but the third. To me, that's irrelevant.
worst
Obviously, it could have been worse. You don't even want to think of what the worst could have been.
entire minutes played stronger
I thought he played well the entire 60 minutes and got stronger through the game.
areas create defend far move moving outing space swedish team toughest
I think by far it was the toughest outing for one of our goaltenders. The Swedish team is so skilled. ... They move to areas well, they put pucks into areas, and they create opportunities through space and moving the puck. It's tough to defend that way ... and when we had breakdowns, he made saves.
against came played spark stronger urgency
I think we came out much better and much stronger tonight. We had more urgency on the puck. We played with a spark that we didn't have against Latvia.
