That move is unbelievable. I've never seen a guy do it twice in one game.
change game incident might sure win
I'm not going to change my game because of an incident like that. I'm sure he might change his actions. He'll want to get a win out of here. He'll take that as motivation.
break game lucky
In a game like this, it comes down to a lucky break here or there. And that's what happened.

The big thing was we came back from a bad spell. We played more like a team and regained that focus.

It's a matter of finding the back of the net. We're a good team when all four lines are firing.

That's what we wanted to do is come in here and get the win. We know they're right on our tail and they're playing good.

That's what we wanted to do. Come in and get the win. We know they're on our tail. Ever since they got Joe Thornton they've made gains on us. We wanted to put a stop to it.
asked fortunate longest playing pride sick year
Don't get me wrong. I've been fortunate to be asked so many times. I want not to be asked this year because I'm still playing in the playoffs. I take pride in making the playoffs. I've been around the longest and I'm sick of going to the world championships.

It was one bad break. We played a decent game and lost on a bad break in double overtime. That's playoff hockey. Move on.
compared environment huge joe loud maybe playoff sound
It's loud here, but nothing compared to the playoff environment in Edmonton. That's a whole new level. Maybe the sound doesn't' funnel down here (at Joe Louis) but it's huge in Edmonton.
found game gold medal uplift
It's like their gold medal game and they found a way to uplift their game. It was not a walkover.

It's a draining feeling. It sucks losing. We want to make the playoffs.

It's a great feeling, especially the coming from behind.

I've cherished every moment of playing for my country, but there's been one thing missing.
