On the ice, he's nerves of steel. He has fun out there, but he just likes to stay as focused as he can.

It's perfect to play again against them because we want to take revenge. It will be a tough game.

It's perfect to play against Canada, because we want to take revenge.

It felt like a regular World event, except more hyper. It was just awesome.

Watching the girls go in the afternoon, we noticed (the ice) was swinging a little bit more. You can get more aggressive. It's nice to get aggressive because you don't have so many close games.

We came for a medal and we didn't care what color it was. We're very happy with a bronze.

It shouldn't get any easier. There's a lot of good teams here. And we think we're one of them.

It was brutal. I was struggling. I don't know why. But I didn't make a whole lot of shots.

I think it would be great for curling in the U.S. and great for us.
