commenting far issue
We're not commenting on that. As far as we're concerned, it isn't an issue for us.
happy played
I thought we played well enough to win. We aren't happy with our results, but I think we happy with our effort.
special
I think it's pretty special and he's having a blast.
gate great guys realize
I think it's really important for the guys to realize how important it is to get out to a great start. We've got to come out of the gate ready.
came confidence gotta improved means realize
We came into this thing with a lot of confidence, and our confidence should still be high. We've improved defensively every game. By no means are we frustrated. There have been so many upsets, it's anybody's tournament, and we gotta realize that.
bottom came confidence good level line
We came into this thing with a lot of confidence and our confidence level is still high. We feel really good about our game, but the bottom line is, we've got to finish.
bad power score special stay took total
Our special teams, again, we didn't score on our power play, they did. We took some bad penalties. We stay out of the box, no problem, we're in total control.
against game loss
Right now, with a tie, a loss and a win, we've got to come up with a big game against Sweden.
again generate guys looking outcome played win
Physically, I'm fine. We're looking for offense, we're down a goal, so we got the guys there to try and generate some offense. Obviously, we're disappointed with the outcome again like the first game, but we can't be frustrated. I thought we played well enough to win it, it's just they played well, too.
call depends guess negative players support
It all depends on how the referees call it. We've been through that before. All the players are told to support it and not be negative in the beginning, so I guess we'll just go with that.
came difference
Manny came up with some big saves. The difference was we scored on our 5-on-3 and they did not.
convert ice middle puck
We just can't convert our chances. We had the puck up the middle of the ice a lot, and didn't get anything to show for it.
defense patient standing thinking tonight
We were more patient on defense tonight. We have a new system, and (Wednesday) night, we were still standing around, thinking about what to do. Tonight we had it down.
heal
The only thing I can say is, I've been through the same thing and you do come back strong, you can heal strong, and come back the same player,
