happy
I think we're pretty happy to get out of here with one point.
afraid felt good happy leg looking survived
I survived the game, ... Personally, I felt really good in there. My leg was good. I was not afraid to play the way I wanted to play. That's something I was looking at before getting a start. I'm pretty happy about it.
felt happy hurt months playing team
It felt long, ... Not playing is one thing, but not being with the guys. I was out of it for 18 months with the lockout and now I'm so happy to get back. When you're hurt -- I'd never really experienced it before -- you're not part of a team too much.
definitely effort everybody expected good happy since victory win
We are definitely expected to win but we had to do it the way we did it. The way we did it was the thing everybody was happy about. It was not just skimming a victory out of a shootout or something like that. This was a good effort and it's been a while since we had one like that.
afford against bright happy losing points team took
You can't be happy about losing a game. You have to look at the bright side. We competed well against a team that we can afford to give two points to and we took one away from them.
below chance definitely everybody good great happy tough year
It's definitely a great situation. We have to be happy about what's going on right now. We made our chance. ... All year we've been below everybody and now at the end it makes you feel pretty good to go through such a tough year and even have a chance to do it.
against happy playing points rest rivalry taking
It's a rivalry and they're playing hard. We're not happy they're not doing well against the rest of the league. They're taking points away from us.
mind period played third
I thought we played really well. We've got to get the third period out of our mind and be comfortable with how we played.
definitely everybody far game pinpoint playing price sharp
I think we're definitely not sharp as far as my game and everybody defensively. I think it's a combination of a lot of things why defensively you're not successful. I don't think you can pinpoint it to one person. As a group, we're just not sharp and have been playing the price a lot.
surprise
I think we'll surprise a lot of people.
everybody exciting learns watch
I think we'll be really fast, we have a lot of speedy forwards. I think we're going to be big like other teams, but I think it will be exciting to watch when everybody learns to play with the new rules.
bat beneficial early gel gets good happened prepared salt superstars team teams terms tougher wants
It is beneficial for us in terms of getting us going. When you get so many superstars from different backgrounds everyone has to gel and sometimes when you play good teams right off the bat like in Salt Lake, everyone wants to do their own thing and it gets tougher and tougher. I think that happened in Salt Lake, I don't think we were really prepared to play as a team early on.
anxious camps canada chance guys nice perform summer team training transition younger
I think there was a big transition in Canada, having younger guys being part of Team Canada now. I think it's nice we had a chance to perform with each other. At least you don't come in and it's a brand-new atmosphere. Now Team Canada has been doing these pre-Olympic training camps in the summer also, where we got together. I think everybody's really anxious to see each other again.
everybody eyes finally five front mechanical plane problem saw scary six
I saw everybody in front of me, and their eyes were going crazy. It was a scary five or six seconds. They finally told us there was a mechanical problem and they couldn't get the plane in the air.
