We have to focus on playing solid defense to minimize scoring opportunities for our opponents because we probably aren't going to put up the numbers we put up last year. But winning by one or two is the same result as winning by four or five.

I'm just coming down a little from the emotion. I thought we played with a lot of emotion and a lot of heart today, and did the little things and put the puck in the net enough times to pull out a huge win for us.

We've been planning for this for a while. We're not panicking by any means. All the top-end players are out of college hockey [this season]. The cream of the crop is playing in the Olympics.
