In one sense we are a favorite because we won a gold medal in 2002.

We played in an era where you were taught to hate your opponent. But life changes. I raise my kids differently than my mom and dad raised their kids.

You miss every shot you don't take.

I couldn't beat people with my strength; I don't have a hard shot; I'm not the quickest skater in the league. My eyes and my mind have to do most of the work.

Eight days ago, we were the toast of the town. Eight days later we're Thanksgiving turkeys.

At the end of the day everybody lost. We almost crippled our industry. It was very disappointing what happened.
