bench definitely played plays stood thinking three tonight tournament
He made some real big saves. There were two or three plays, I stood up on the bench thinking they were in and he made the saves. If your goalie plays well in a tournament like this, you're going to have a chance, and tonight he definitely played well.
beginning dangerous nervous played team
I think we played nervous at the beginning and we were tense. We know they're a team that's struggling, but that's a dangerous kind of team.
awesome believes everybody maybe ride
But Kipper was awesome and now maybe everybody in Calgary believes we can give this a real shot. You can ride a goalie a long way in the playoffs.
kindness knew shower took
I knew he was upset; he didn't say much in the room. He just kind of packed up his stuff, took a shower and he left.
andy call time
I think a wake-up call is sometimes needed. Andy was here a long time ... now John's in and we have to get ready. We don't have much time.
problem score
That's been our problem -- we haven't been able to score goals.
hockey synonymous usa
He's been a big part of USA hockey for a long time. It's surprising. He's kind of synonymous with USA hockey.
bother bottom chances difference forward hard line moving score work
That was the difference tonight. We had some opportunities, some chances to score, but it just didn't go in for us. The bottom line is we're going to score goals. We just have to work hard and keep moving forward and not let this bother us.
couple days ways
We know this isn't over. We know when we come back in a couple of days and play Russia, we have to find ways to score.
ourselves playing playoff position run smart start
We've pretty much put ourselves in the position where we have to run the table. We got to start playing smart out there. We're not playing playoff hockey.
We started great, everything was right on schedule.
cylinders effort finding gives power score ways
We're finding ways to score goals. This effort gives us some confidence. Hopefully, we can get our power play going on all cylinders after tonight.
good
We're doing a lot of good things. We just need some finish.
couple goals nice played tonight understand
Usually I kind of understand him, but tonight I couldn't even understand what he was saying. I think it was Slovak. I don't know. He was pretty happy, though. It was nice to see him get a couple of goals because he played there so long.
