Other countries don't see us as a world contender. But back home, every tournament we play we're supposed to win. After the last Olympics and what happened against Belarus, you could feel in the locker room before the Switzerland game that if we lost we couldn't fly home this summer.

It's our national sport, so this is the greatest.

You could feel it on the bench. The team was so much more relaxed.

We didn't really get any power-play goals where we set up the puck and worked it the way we wanted. Still it was good to get five goals.

They've got the whole Rangers' mafia there. They always play good together and they're better when they play for their country.

They are our biggest rivals ... there's no question about it. A lot of people in both countries will be focusing on that.

It was very important to get that goal. They didn't get back in the game.

There's a lot of pressure on us. Back home, the media thinks every time we play in a tournament, we're supposed to win.

I don't think he thinks about it.
