critical mature point recognize step team time
We willed this win. Our team is mature enough to recognize when a critical point comes up and we'll always make a play. We know when it's time to step up and make a play and that's what we did today.
hold pitchers teams zone
If we hold teams to one run, I've got to like our chances. Our pitchers were outstanding. They were around the (strike) zone all day long.
ability bring game games history last player rink sure team unique
Last year's team was if not the best, right up there in the history of the tournament. This year, every player is going to have to bring to the rink their A games to be successful. Brent has that unique ability to make sure every player has their A game for every game.
allow call exactly heard hit hooking last meeting players sat team words
I sat in the last (IIHF) directors' meeting and the words I heard in the last directors' meeting were exactly what I wanted to hear. They were going to allow players to hit and they were going to call the hooking and the holding. Now the players are confused. We have to get this much more consistent, not for Team Canada, but for every player in this tournament.
character damaged good hurt light people teams
It hurt me in the draft, because it kind of damaged my character and put me in a light that I don't want to be put in. Teams know I'm a good player. People that know me or get to know me know I'm a good person with character.
against good intensity played second team
I thought we played very tentative and without a lot of intensity in the second half. We didn't do the things that we do well, and you can't do that against a good team like Conestoga.
across fly free great ocean pass perspective team
From our perspective, it's going to be great the U.S. team is not going to have to fly all the way across the ocean to participate. We get kind of a free pass this time.
confidence focused lack reason road start team track winning
I don't think it's a lack of confidence on the road, we just need to be more focused as a team on the road. When we're at home, it's a comfortable atmosphere. I think that's the reason we play so well here. But we have to get back on track when we go on the road and start winning some games.

Ken Holland brings a wealth of experience in preparing a team and he has had great success in selecting championship teams.
both change games huge management sure team top vancouver
We were 2-0 with the top team in both those tournaments, why would we change anything? We will reassess and re-evaluate. We know that when the Games are in Vancouver it's going to be huge and we want to make sure we have the right management team in place for those Games.
against beat caliber five good runs score second team
We did some good things, particularly offensively. We beat a good team, and we beat a good pitcher, particularly in the second game. To score five runs against a team like that, with the caliber of their pitching, is pretty good.
definitely heart motivation needs team worried
I'm worried more about the team aspect, but it's definitely motivation for me to come out and play my heart out. Obviously, I didn't win, so there is something that needs to be shown. I'm just going to play my game. If I try to do too much, I won't do well.
advantage game opportunity ourselves playing separates teams three
There's very little that separates the three teams that are going to be playing in the regional. Very little. If we play the way we did in (Tuesday's) first game, we'll give ourselves an opportunity to win. But if we don't take advantage of our opportunities or have one game where we don't play well, we're going to get beat. It's that simple.
expect mind pull question solid state team year
The mind-set of our team this year is a state title. I expect a lot from them. And they're eager; they know we have a solid team. We're going to pull some surprises, no question about it.
