bit connection guys hair realize success
I didn't realize the connection between the mullet and success. For sure, you have to have a little bit of hockey hair - a little bit of flow, as they say. A lot of guys have fun with their hockey hair, so I'll try to keep it a little long.
became canada four gold pulling realized time tough watched win
When I watched the first game, it was tough because I think that was the time I realized it's probably going to be another four years before I had the opportunity. After that, I just became a fan. I was pulling for them and I wanted them to do well. It's unfortunate it didn't, but I said before Canada had a lot of expectations and they're not going to win gold every time.
against best biggest challenges easy realize seems team tough
It seems longer. It's never easy losing. For us, it makes us realize how tough it is, especially against the best team in the league. That was probably one of the biggest challenges we've had.
backs bit defensive gets maybe moving net puck putting realize simplest team turn
You don't realize sometimes what putting the puck on net does. Sometimes defensemen turn their backs and maybe look at the puck, or it gets the defensive team moving and maybe a little bit confused.

I was disappointed because I knew it was close, that I was in the mix. I have to realize it's up to me to earn another chance, though you don't know what's four years down the road. I still love getting up and going to the rink. I'm living my dream. I'm not taking anything for granted.

I think we just realized that was bad luck. I think we knew we were carrying the play in the first, so we weren't too worried.
adversity bit deep determined dig ideal pressure ready realize situation tough winning
Going through this is a lot of adversity -- let's be honest, there is a little bit of pressure because we haven't been winning -- and if we can get through this, we'll be better for it, ... It's not an ideal situation but now we realize it's tough to win and we have to be ready every night. We have to dig deep and play determined and play desperate.
change city fans great guys happening lost meant player realize team treated younger
Hockey's lost a great player and a great person. I don't think it will change anything for me, but this happening makes a lot of the younger guys realize what he meant to the team and the city. It makes you want to do things for the team and the city that he did, because the city has been unbelievable to us. It's just treated us great. We've got great fans here.

We've been there a lot this year. We've fallen behind and climbed our way back, but it seems like one mistake we make and sometimes it costs us.
early expect few game giving might rebounds seemed solid wore
When a goalie is off for that long, you expect he might be a little rusty. Early on, he was giving out a few more rebounds than normal. If we had jumped on a few on those, it might have been different. As the game wore on, he seemed to get more comfortable and he was pretty solid back there.
best burden hockey interested looked means people
I've never looked at it as a burden and I don't think I ever will. It's exciting. It means that people are interested in hockey and that's important. That's the best part about it.

It would have been nice to get the third win in a row, but it's nice to at least get the point.
