achieved against beat definitely four games good points red respect respected wings
We were able to get four points in two games against the Red Wings on the road, and historically that's never been the case. We definitely want some respect and I think we've achieved that. If you want to be respected as a good team, then you have to beat the good teams.
definitely fight moment playing starting tournament whoever
I'm definitely going to fight for the job. It's up to the coaches, we'll see what happens. I definitely feel I have a chance. Usually in this tournament it's whoever is playing better at that moment when it comes to the starting goalie.
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.
definitely momentum score shift third tie
It's a big play. Tie game, third period, you score short-handed, definitely it's a big momentum shift to your side.
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.
far improve last playoffs ready statements win work
I think statements are made in the playoffs and we're far away from that. We still want to improve and get ready for the playoffs. We didn't win anything the last two nights. Our work is far from over.
breakdown decides jason
Jason was all by himself. A breakdown like that decides the game.
ready shift trying
On Wednesday, every play, every minute, every shift counts, ... That's what we're trying to get ready for.
forgotten good
We have a good team. This can all be forgotten soon.
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 medal playing
Playing for the bronze medal is hard, very hard.
chances facing playing scoring sooner
We're not playing well defensively. Facing 30 or more scoring chances a game, something's going to go in sooner or later.
business matter
We're not in the business of figure-skating. It doesn't matter if you do a little better tonight. You play for points, and we just didn't get it done.
beat effort
We were getting beat one-on-one. You've got to do your job. We didn't do our jobs. The effort just wasn't there.
