picked second third
We picked it up in the second and third periods, but we'll have to play better.
coach doubt everybody mind picked win
There's no doubt in my mind he's the coach of the year. Everybody picked us for 30th. What he's done with the team, the way he is, the way he's coached, he should win it by miles.

I think it was a late hit. I'm not very happy about that.

They've been on top of everything all season. They're so well-prepared.

Now it seems as though the team's stabilized and we have a nice family here.

That's where we go when we miss home.

It's a professional sport. We play here together, but for two weeks we're going to be enemies. We're going to compete for a medal in the Olympics. That's going to be a little weird, but obviously, we've done it before. We're used to it.

It's the medal round (now), so it was a big win for us. We came together as a team.
