couple team hockey
Two or three years ago, every game I want to score. And after I score a goal I have a spark and I'm so happy I want more. Now I'mkind of different. I'm not saying I lost my spark - I still have it - but I don't chase the goal as much as I used to. I'm playing for the team andI still know I can score, but it's different than two or three years back.Look at great teams like Detroit a couple of years ago; they winthe Stanley Cup and guys only score 25 goals, nobody has a really big season. You have to play defense, that's how you win.

We talked to the referees before the game; there's always new situations to adjust, for the refs and for us as well. Even on the ice, it's good for players to talk and interact with the referee.

Our team has a lot of talent. I hope that soon we will break out with four or five goals and avoid overtime.

eight feels good hot last lose nine puck quotes seemed touched
Sometimes that happens. I know how it feels to lose eight or nine to nothing. It can be frustrating but it was good for us. This was a team that was hot the last nine games. It seemed like any puck we touched went our way.

We want to learn all the game and play the best way and take to our advantage.

We dreamed of winning a medal. Maybe we wanted it too much. We should have relaxed a bit and maybe we would have played better.
