happy hockey minutes played proven test
He's a proven goalie in Europe, but we played 50 minutes of hockey and had 13 shots. We can't give him credit. He's probably happy he got his first shutout in the NHL, but we made him look good. We really didn't test that guy.
cost mistakes played
It's a disappointing way to lose. We played pretty solid, but mistakes cost us.
finally goal hockey minutes played score shut solid
Finally we were able to score the power-play goal and get a lead. Then, we played solid hockey for 60 minutes and shut them down.
last played
I don't think we played the same way we did last week.
guess played point satisfied
It was a must-win for us, obviously. I guess we have to be satisfied - we played .500. But at this point in the year, it's not going to be enough for us.
bit finally lucky played puck
A little bit of a lucky bounce, but I'll take it. Finally a puck bounces our way. But we played pretty well tonight.
center played three work
They haven't told me anything, ... If they tell you you have to play (defense) you have to play 'D.' But I've been a center for three years here. When I first got here, I played wing, but it didn't really work out. But it's the coach's decision.
capable early few good level looked obviously past played single team weeks
Our lineup looked pretty good early in the year, but obviously we haven't played at the level we're capable of doing. The past few weeks we've been the team we should have been every single night.
deserve great played
It's very disappointing. I think we played just a great tournament, so many big games, and I thought we deserve this.
doctor five games last played saying
I played the last five games (with the injury) and the doctor was saying I could take the last game off, but there was no reason.
believed couple enjoying far feeling guys locker outside room single smiling time
And there were a couple of guys that were smiling over there a little bit. But we're this far and we're enjoying our time right now. It's an unbelievable feeling being in the gold-medal game. I don't think there's been a single person outside our locker room who believed we could go this far.
dream final five million watch
It is a dream final for us. There are five million at home, and everyone will watch this game.
mentally playoffs summer tough
It's really tough mentally being out of the playoffs again. It's going to be a long summer again.
fourth meeting next seventh sick time tired year
I'll tell you what -- this is my fourth year here and seventh year in the league, and I'm sick and tired of losing. Next time we have a meeting like that, we're going to be out of the playoffs.
