came game heard junior played saw tournament until
I hadn't even heard of the world junior tournament until I came to Canada. I was 16 before I saw a game and I had no idea it was played over Christmas.
came games junior last maybe proved three
That got us boiling. Maybe he should be in junior B, I don't know. But we came out the last three games and proved to him what we're all about.
corey guy guys identity last seven takes together
I'm the go-to guy like Corey was last year. Actually, last year, we had seven guys who were go-to guys and it was amazing. But this year, we've come together as a team. We have our own identity and we know what it takes to win.
forward gets power time
I want to be more of a leader. I don't want to be the 13th forward who just gets time on the power play. I want to be a go-to guy.
great huge job
This was huge because Kitchener's right on our heels. We've got to keep winning, and we're doing a great job right now.
behind blame care cheering win
I don't blame them. When it's in the States, I don't think very many Americans are cheering for Canadians. It's not strange. We don't care about who is behind us and who is not. We are here to win a tournament.
deeper harder pressure series skill sounds takes turn work
The deeper you get in the playoffs, the harder it is to score. It's all about hard work in the playoffs, then skill takes over. Hard work sounds like a cliche. But you have to turn it up a notch, then get creative. I like the pressure situations. And this series is a pressure series. We get through this one, we're going to be good.
anybody continue felt hear nobody pressure records winning
There was the pressure of winning our way in because nobody wanted to hear anybody say we were lucky. We set all those records and we felt we had to continue winning and get in the right way.
good skill skilled team
There's a lot of skill on this team, a lot of grit, a lot of everything. We've got big, fast, skilled forwards, so it's a pretty good team and well put together.
area behind bench box giving glass half hear penalty saying scoring
They (the fans) were pretty annoying. Only half of the area behind our bench is glass -- it's like Kitchener in the penalty box -- so you can hear everything they're saying and they were really giving it to me. All I can do is go out there and keep scoring goals.
empty hitting missing net playoff sooner
They've been getting the bounces. Part of playoff hockey, part of the series, there'll be times when you go through droughts. Myself, there's been times when I have an empty net and I've been hitting the goalie in the (butt) or missing the net. Those bounces are going to come to us sooner or later.
against good hockey junior playing slash test
We've become pretty good friends through playing with the Americans (at the world junior hockey championship). We'll chirp each other now and then and we'll give each other a slash when we have to, but it'll be good to go up against him. It's a good test for our team.
best canada gold guys lost single team together tournament won
Canada lost a lot of guys from the team that won the (2005) gold medal. But you can't put the best team in the tournament together every single year. You can only put together what you have.
looked might quickly ready recover tired
Hey, it might have looked like we were tired because when you're at the end of a four-minute shift, you are tired. But you recover quickly on the bench. I feel rejuvenated today, ready to go.
