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.
few last shots
We have to be hungrier around their net, and the last few games, we just haven't done that. Sometimes shots are only statistics. You can take 100 shots, but if they're all from the outside, it really doesn't matter.
giving hold last league playing red shots start three
I don't know if it's the Red Wings. We've been giving up that many shots about the last three weeks. We're not playing well defensively. If you want to win, you have to start in your own zone. You can't give up 40, 45 shots every night. Especially in this league where you can't hold guys, you can't give up these kind of chances.
again czech last medal olympics
For me, having a medal from the Olympics is great. If I never play again for the Czech team, I have a medal from the World Championship (gold last year) and now the Olympics.
game job last people worry
Look at the game. It was so one-sided. The last game was so one-sided. I just try to do my job and let the other people worry about everything else.
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.
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.
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.
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.
