benchmark few maybe nice
Maybe it's not as big a benchmark as it used to be a few years ago but it's nice and I think there's more to come.
beginning effort final goal gold good great tonight tough
From the beginning our goal was to get to the final and play for the gold medal. It's always tough to go all the way, and we have had some good luck. Tonight we had a great effort from 20 guys.
enjoy everybody experience fresh great last might older olympic opportunity playoff race start starts tournament
It's a fresh start for him. He doesn't have to think about the playoff race or anything. Everybody starts at zero. It's a great opportunity for us. We're getting older and it might be our last big tournament for our country. I think he's just going to enjoy the Olympic experience and make the most of the opportunity.
ray stretch
I think this stretch has been really important. Not just for Ray but the team, as well.
couple defense great guys sprung
They sprung a couple of guys once in a while, but we know Dom is there and he's going to make some great saves. Our defense has been overshadowed because we have such a great offense.
anymore easier fighting great guys hard holding momentum neutral spirit stop tougher zone
It's great to see a fighting spirit in us and not quitting. It used to be a lot easier holding guys up in the neutral zone and making it a lot tougher for the other guys to come in to fore check. You can't do that anymore so once you get some momentum it's hard to stop it.
biggest game great obviously tone year
This is a great opportunity. We don't want to have to go back to Florida. We obviously know that this is the biggest game of the year for us and we want to go out there and set the tone right away.
biggest felt game
The biggest thing we had in this game was the passion. From the beginning, we wanted this game, and the Czechs felt that.
extremely played team
I think under Jacques, we were very much a team that played extremely well defensively,
good question
He's a good goalie, there's no question about that.
great
Hopefully, we can play one more great game.
confident good guy happy injured start
Obviously, it would be good to have Dom in there. But he's injured and we're just happy with the way Ray's been playing. He's never been there before, but you've got to start somewhere. We feel very confident in him and he's going to be the guy for us.
goals happen period played seemed took waiting
They played well in the first period and got up 2-0 on us. We scored some big short-handed goals that really got us going. It seemed like we were waiting for something to happen and when it did, we took over.
games good sure today
He didn't say too much. I'm not sure why he didn't play today but I'm sure with the back-to-back games ... it's good for us just to have him around.
