I'm very disappointed that I'm unable to represent my country, but after speaking with our doctors, we feel it's the best thing to do at this time and my only real option. We will now use the Olympic break as a part of my rehab program in an effort to continue strengthening the injury for the final stretch of the season.
I didn't have any pain at all. A couple of goals I wasn't very happy about. It feels bad because we played a great game.
I had hoped to be further along with my groin injury and strong enough to help Finland compete for a gold medal, but I'm still not playing at full strength and don't feel my game is at the level it needs to be.
I was just sliding around, swimming and hoping I was going to hit it and it went under my pad.
We are making some bad mistakes and I am letting some easy goals in.
It's the only thing I can do right now. I don't want to go over there and hurt myself. It would be a tough two weeks.
We will now use the Olympic break as a part of my rehab program.
