We didn't do that intentionally. We were playing on smaller ice, so it's a lot more physical. There's not as much room to move, so if you don't move the puck along quickly, you're going to get hit.

It's going to be a great game as always when Canada and the U.S. play.

We've been coming along all year. Everybody's pretty excited. We've been on a mission since May and we're just going to keep working towards it.

The whole team agrees, the money, we can share that and help each other out, but we can't replace that sentimental value that Becky has lost right now.

I really felt like they fed off of each other and kept wanting to be better every shift. Each line just started to battle a little bit more, a little bit more, a little bit more.

You're always motivated to play the best teams in the world.

We just didn't compete. We'll be much better the next days and the next games, but that's just not acceptable.

The team believed and trusted in each other. There were no negatives on the bench. Everyone knew we had a lot of game left.

We don't like to see any hits like that from either team. But whatever we use to motivate us won't come from the other team. It will come from us.
