We didn't expect the checking to be so hard. But in the third period we did start skating and scored three goals.

I think we shocked the USA a bit. I think we are getting better at playing the big teams.

They are one of the best teams in the world and the favorite to win in the final.

We're still not good enough. We were scared of what was going to happen.

I'm very disappointed, because we lost the first period, and we didn't skate well.

We were so close; it's just a big disappointment to lose when you're so close.

It's sort of mixed feelings. It's sentimental and it's also being scared of what could happen.

We're not used to leading against the USA, and I think that's one of the things we have to get better at.
