breakdown decides jason
Jason was all by himself. A breakdown like that decides the game.
game job last people worry
Look at the game. It was so one-sided. The last game was so one-sided. I just try to do my job and let the other people worry about everything else.
ready shift trying
On Wednesday, every play, every minute, every shift counts, ... That's what we're trying to get ready for.
blood detect
It could have been a lot worse. If they didn't detect it, the blood clot could have got loose, and then I would have been in big trouble.
angle ninth seems separate
From every angle that you look at it, it was important. You want to separate from ninth place as much as possible. It seems like everyone is winning, so we need points.
committed defensive side
I don't think we were committed as much to the defensive side as we would have liked. That's why we lost.
fell obviously sound
He made a sound and kind of fell down awkward. It's obviously not the way you want to go in.
bronze great ice played result sure
For me, personally, bronze is a great result even if I'm sure that if we played better with Sweden, we would've been on the ice (Sunday).
few last shots
We have to be hungrier around their net, and the last few games, we just haven't done that. Sometimes shots are only statistics. You can take 100 shots, but if they're all from the outside, it really doesn't matter.
came chance felt glad obviously team win
He felt the team had a better chance to win without me, so it's just the way it went. Obviously disappointing for me but I'm glad we came out with a bronze.
cover easy few fortunate front game goals passes rebounds side
We didn't cover the slot. A lot of goals were off of rebounds or passes in front of the net. We have been on the fortunate side a few times this season, but you can't think any game is going to be an easy game.
achieved against beat definitely four games good points red respect respected wings
We were able to get four points in two games against the Red Wings on the road, and historically that's never been the case. We definitely want some respect and I think we've achieved that. If you want to be respected as a good team, then you have to beat the good teams.
against people traded
You do it all the time. People get traded and you play against your ex-teammates all the time, so you're used to it.
beat effort
We were getting beat one-on-one. You've got to do your job. We didn't do our jobs. The effort just wasn't there.
