chances few maybe missed net work
We had a lot of chances and maybe missed the net a few times, but that's all things that we can work on in practice.
bronze excited great hard redeem rest throw worked
We were excited to go out and redeem ourselves. We wanted to show the rest of the world we're a great team. We worked hard this year. We weren't going to throw it away because of one game. We wanted that bronze medal.
coming convenient letting schedule store train work
The store I work with, they've been fantastic, working around my schedule, being able for me to train when it's convenient and letting me go for tournaments and coming back and just working around my schedule has been great.
came game hard hockey played starts true worked
It starts with the goalie out. They worked hard and played a hard game, and unfortunately it came down to a shootout, which to me isn't really a true championship. It comes down to one-on-one, and that's not a hockey game.
hit missed net pipe stood tons
I think we outplayed them. We had tons of shots; they didn't go in for us. We missed the net and hit the pipe I don't know how many times. The goalie stood on her head. We had our chances.
bury excuse stood
I think we've got a young team, (but) it's not an excuse. Things didn't go our way. Their goalie stood on her head, and we didn't bury it.

We had twice as many chances as they did, we just didn't capitalize when we needed to.
dream front name olympics wearing
Representing the U.S. in the Olympics is a dream come true, you're wearing the U.S. jersey, and that's who you play for, you don't play for the name on the back of the jersey, you play for the name on the front of the jersey.
came champion true
It came down to a shootout, which to me isn't a true champion. It comes down to one-on-one and that's not hockey.
changing enjoy experience game screw
You just go out and play your game. You can't think about 'What do I need to do to make the team.' All you can do is your best. If that's what's going to do it, that's what's going to do it. If you try changing yourself, you're going to screw your game up. You've got to try to enjoy the experience and have fun.

We have 20 players picking each other up.

We have 20 great players. We lose together and we win together.
capitalize ton
We had a ton of chances. We didn't capitalize on them.
