We are a pro team in every sense of the word outside of being paid like pro players.

It's kind of nice to get the monkey off my back and get two goals and now I don't have to think about it anymore.

...is to win the Olympic gold medal this year, that's for sure the biggest one.

When I got the second goal, I knew I had 100 goals so one of my teammates, Gillian Apps, grabbed the puck for me.

It's our first meeting since the worlds, so it will be interesting to see what they look like, and how we look as well.

She threw it out from the corner to the high slot, and I just sort of made a little fake and went top shelf over the Swedish goalie. It was a decent goal, a nice goal. Sometimes you get them on garbage goals, but this was kind of a fun one.

There were a lot of kids in the crowd and I think a lot of them were familiar with my name and obviously being over here with the attention I received when I was here. It was kind of nice to hear the kids squealing, the atmosphere was good.

What you'd like to see from a young player is they have to come into camp confident enough to take somebody's spot. You see that a lot more in men's hockey than you do in the women's game.

It was kind of a nice moment. It was exciting to get the 100th goal and to do it in Finland where I played before here, it was sort of a neat feeling.
