came definitely dream emotions explain gone hard hits last olympic range saturday
I've gone through such a range of emotions in the last 45 minutes, it's definitely hard to even explain what I've gone through. Saturday will be the big day when it really hits for me, when I'm up on the podium getting the medals. It's any athlete's dream to make the Olympic team. It's only that much better to say that you came out with a medal.
last missed playing shot yesterday
I still say we're playing pretty well. Unfortunately, yesterday we missed the last shot of the day.
bad good last loss monday rather shot
We feel good about the whole thing. Other than a bad last shot (in Monday night's 4-3 loss to Finland), we're 3-0 rather than 2-1.
difficult extremely knew played satisfied team today
I knew it was going to be an extremely difficult day for me today. This team is extremely satisfied with the way they played today and for myself, it's that much of a better moment, for sure.
coming confident definitely everybody expecting ok
Everybody was not expecting us to do well here. But we were pretty confident coming in that we could be contenders. We were definitely OK with coming in here and not being the No. 1 favorites.
everybody expecting
Everybody was not expecting us to do well here.
carry dream medal olympics picture stand
It was a dream of hers, just like it was a dream of mine, for me to make the Olympics and potentially medal. I carry a picture of her all the time. She'll be on the medal stand with me, if we get up there.
date dream hers incentive instantly medals olympics recognized
I instantly recognized the date of the medals game. It was incentive to me. It was a dream of hers to get to the Olympics as much as it was a dream of mine.
beat game good
They are going to want to beat us as much as we want to beat them. If we go out and play a good game together, we can win.
coming either gamble game line point points steal tied
We had to kind of gamble a little, to try to steal a point or points from them. We kind of put the game on the line going into that end. We were either going to steal a point and be tied coming home, or give them the game there in the ninth.
medal
The way the standings are looking, we still think 6-3 is into the medal round, for sure.
canadian curl european gets ice less normal pick reasonably room
Normally, European ice is straight, and Canadian ice gets a real big curl. A 4- or 5-foot curl is normal up there. When the ice is straighter, there's less room for error. If we had to pick between the two, we'd take Canadian ice, but were reasonably comfortable with the ice here.
absolutely count fan matter stop
She was a fan you could always count on that would always be in the stands, no matter what. She was absolutely going to be there. She was not going to have anything stop her.
hope messages
I can only hope it does. It's overwhelming the messages we're getting from everywhere.
