“Every country gets fired up to play us. They played well. I thought when it was 2-1 that we had some chances to make it 3, 4-1. He made some saves and we just missed some shots. They got a break on their second, and the third period I thought we had a lot of chances, he made some big saves. We got it done in the shootout.” WellsMadeCountryDonePlayBigsChanceBreakPeriodsShotsThirdsHockeyFired Up Author:Dany Heatley
“It's tough, it's not the scenario that we wanted for sure. I thought our desperation was there, we worked hard, but it was one game, a lot can happen, they're a good team, and unfortunately we didn't win. We had some bad bounces, and in one game those make a big difference, and unfortunately it didn't go our way. But if we play hard like that, we play desperate like that and control the puck the way we did down low, I like our chances against any team.” IfsWayHardPlayBigsHappensWantedGamesWinningDifferencesChanceTeamLowsToughDesperateHockeyDesperationScenariosBouncePuckPlay HardGood Team Author:Sidney Crosby

“I think it was good, we wanted to win no matter if it was 1-0 or 8-2, we got to win. The Russians are a great team, but so are we. So we've gotta prepare the way we can and play the way we can tomorrow. I think that every game, every practice together we've continue to get better. It's tough in these short tournaments you gotta bond quickly and you've gotta have good chemistry; so hopefully now we can build on that and keep going.” IfsThinkingWayMatterPlayWantedTogetherGamesWinningPracticeTeamTomorrowToughHopefullyGet BetterKeep GoingChemistryHockeyTournamentsGreat Team Author:Shea Weber

“I think we came out the last couple of game and have been able to get it going. The first couple we were tentative a little bit, that energy, maybe excite. I saw in the last couple of games we've been able to channel that and use it in a positive way to go, be aggressive, physical and skate.
