It feels amazing. The reason we won is because our team has more heart than anyone. We train hard.

When you make a mistake, it fuels your fury and I couldn't have felt more powerful heading into the still rings.

It's nice to be on their line. They're unbelievable players.

As long as I'm working hard and doing other stuff, I feel good about myself, I don't get down.

Unbelievable. Bart Conner is one of the most decorated male gymnasts to ever compete. To put me in a category with him, it feels amazing.

I am happy to have won it, knowing that it was a tough year. Last year, I knew all but one (word). This year, there were two words I didn't know.

We needed it bad, we need to keep getting points.

He's given me all the passes in the world. The least I could do is give him one once in a while.

It just popped right out to me. It was a long time coming for goals for me. I got lucky tonight and hopefully they keep going in.

I didn't want to just stand there and get hit out of nowhere, so I dropped my gloves. I was protecting myself, I guess.

I actually didn't think my floor routine was that good. It was pretty shaky to me but some other guys made some mistakes. I stuck most of my passes, a small step on my dismount. On rings, my strength was hard. I was breathing hard through the whole thing and I lost my lower back muscles it felt like during my handstands. I was able to stick my dismount and I came out with two first-place finishes.

There's lots of rumors going on with our captain and our goalie. When it comes down to it everybody wants to play hockey and wants to win — that's what everybody's thinking about.
