cover easy few fortunate front game goals passes rebounds side
We didn't cover the slot. A lot of goals were off of rebounds or passes in front of the net. We have been on the fortunate side a few times this season, but you can't think any game is going to be an easy game.
game improved playing results
We have improved our game and the results are showing. We have been playing much smarter.
bronze medal playing
Playing for the bronze medal is hard, very hard.
coming continuing good hockey job lead sit skating third worst
They say the worst lead in hockey is a two-goal lead going into the third period. You can't sit back and let them keep coming at you. I thought we did a good job of skating and continuing to play in that third period.
found perfect win
It's a win and they're not always going to be perfect games. They were better than us but we found a way to win.
goalkeeper ready rest
A goalkeeper has to be ready all the time. You take your rest because you just never know.

We have as good a chance as everybody, and I really believe that ... This team can go all the way,
felt five four game goals maybe per playing scoring win
We had been scoring a lot of goals and maybe we felt like we just couldn't lose. We started playing loose, but now we're not scoring four or five goals a game per night. And in this NHL, you're not going to win many goals scoring two goals a night.
