For me, having a medal from the Olympics is great. If I never play again for the Czech team, I have a medal from the World Championship (gold last year) and now the Olympics.

From every angle that you look at it, it was important. You want to separate from ninth place as much as possible. It seems like everyone is winning, so we need points.

There's such a big difference between third and fourth. It's satisfying to come up with a medal.

It's nice to be a part of some history. Our team is a young team and we don't have a lot of records set. That's a lot of wins to put together in this league. It's a great momentum builder.

Look at the game. It was so one-sided. The last game was so one-sided. I just try to do my job and let the other people worry about everything else.

Playing for the bronze was hard because losing the semi-final was very breaking. We are disappointed for what happened with Sweden but I'm happy with the medal.

I'm just trying to stop the puck. There's nothing fancy about it.

It's a big play. Tie game, third period, you score short-handed, definitely it's a big momentum shift to your side.

It's always a big momentum shift to give up a short-handed goal. Naturally, we showed a lot of life after that.
