control definitely dressing everybody hard people ready reason room
Everybody has to be accountable in the dressing room and you've got to do the job. You can only control what you can do. I don't know the reason why, but definitely some people just weren't ready or didn't play hard enough, that's just how it was. I don't know the reason.
bad goal
I just had a bad day and when they got that first goal it just snowballed. Sometimes those things happen.
life momentum shift
It's always a big momentum shift to give up a short-handed goal. Naturally, we showed a lot of life after that.
possible worst
I don't feel any pressure. I don't think this has got anything to do with pressure. Sometimes you just play really well, and then get in a slump. Now is the worst possible timing.
neck shot taken
I have never taken a shot like that to my neck in a game. It was scary.
bronze happened happy hard losing playing sweden
Playing for the bronze was hard because losing the semi-final was very breaking. We are disappointed for what happened with Sweden but I'm happy with the medal.
bronze great ice played result sure
For me, personally, bronze is a great result even if I'm sure that if we played better with Sweden, we would've been on the ice (Sunday).
bunch came goals guys
I didn't do very good. But our guys came through and scored a bunch of goals and that's why we won.
detroit expect fame five hall night players shots stop
You can't stop 40 or 45 shots a night and expect to win. Detroit has five Hall of Fame players on the team. You can't give them 45 shots.
enjoying fun night playing
It is not every night you are going to have a 40-shot shutout, ... It is fun to play and I am really enjoying playing right now. It's an unbelievable feeling.
chance
Things went their way. I think they scored on every chance they had.
ready shift trying
On Wednesday, every play, every minute, every shift counts, ... That's what we're trying to get ready for.
committed defensive side
I don't think we were committed as much to the defensive side as we would have liked. That's why we lost.
horse late playing scoring season somehow step teams ups urgency whatever
You've got to play with urgency and we aren't playing with urgency right now. That's why we're a step late everywhere. That's why teams are scoring on us. It's a long season and there are always ups and downs. We just have to get back somehow on the horse and whatever we need to do we need to do it.
