beats call country fantastic few hard italy time
It's fantastic for them. It's fantastic for their country. Any time a country with as few curlers as Italy beats Canada, it's a big deal. It's pretty hard not to call them a powerhouse.
couple ice missed played struggled
I struggled with the ice a little bit. Don't get me wrong, they played well ... and made the ones they had to make and we missed a couple and that usually makes the difference.
feels good great grow help
Hopefully, this will be a great thing. Hopefully, it will help grow the sport. It feels very good right now.
lost
Ah, I'll get over it. We've lost before.
closing ending feeling felt festive opening rather ready strange
It felt a lot different than the Opening Ceremony. It was a little more festive rather than feeling like the ending of the Games. It was a strange feeling to be closing down, but because we've been here so long, we're ready to go home.

They were ahead of us in the standings, so it was good to bring them back toward the field.
extremely playing
He's extremely strong. And he's been playing great.
confidence gives guys throwing
It's a confidence thing. When you're throwing it good, it gives you more confidence. The more we play ... the better guys know the ice.
bring chance early losses win
It's very much too early for that. This was an important win for us. It was a chance to bring them back to us. But more important, we have two losses and we've got to win some games.
call clubs explosion exposure game local people trying
That's our No. 1 goal, to get people out there and trying it. Any kind of exposure that the game can get is going to help. That's why we see an explosion with the Olympics, because people see it on TV, they watch, they call their local clubs and they want to participate.
family
My family was, and is, a curling family.
bad time
It will take us a little time to recover. It?s probably not bad that we have a day off (today).
bad common knew played shook stay thinking
I just told him to stay strong. It's a pretty common thing. But you can't keep thinking about bad throws. He just shook it off and played the way we knew he could play.
expected hear swiss yelling
We could hear the Swiss yelling and stuff. We expected that.
