changed game plan russians
It would not have changed the way we played. We would not have changed our game plan if the Russians scored one goal.
bottom games goal hockey keeping line opposition sure win
The bottom line is we have to win hockey games and we've got to be one goal or more better than our opposition to do that. Let's just make sure we're keeping pucks out of our own net.
bother goes seems strut
I just like his mindset, his attitude. Nothing seems to bother him and he's a got a little strut that goes with it.
decided fine opportunity review worth
They had an opportunity to review it and decided it was not worth reviewing. I'm fine with that.
discipline
It's how we play as a team, the discipline in our own game.
call far opportunity review suspension trust worth
The call was made. They had the opportunity to review it. As far as the IIHF was concerned, they didn't feel it was worth a suspension or worth a review. I trust them on that.
everybody everywhere heard since talk
It's been the talk with everybody since the beginning. The fans. The media. We've heard it with everybody we've seen, everywhere we've been.
certainly rally team
They certainly rally around him. They're certainly a different team with him in their lineup.
skill
I think what everyone underestimated about us was our skill level.
assuming carry
I'm assuming that's the way it's going to be from here on in. That's what we've been told. I'm assuming it's going to carry on like (Saturday) and I know that's what the IIHF wants, too.
gross leg players until
The players thought it was pretty gross because my leg was just black. I limped around until the end of January.
dog mentality team
We really have to have a junkyard dog mentality and that's the way we have to play. I want us to be a very disciplined, committed, hard-working team and in your face.
build good hockey strategy
We are not going to build a whole strategy around him. Hey, we all know he is a very good hockey player. We think we have 22 very good hockey players.
amazing couple happened last points run saw talked
We've talked about things that have happened here in the past. When you get on a run it's pretty amazing what can happen. You saw what happened a couple of years ago when we got points in something like 22 of our last 23 games.
