“I don't even know what I was thinking. I just threw all my stuff up and skated around on the ice. When I got the gold medal around my neck, it was hard to hold back your tears.”
“Our video guy said they should have counted the first one, too, because their guy pushed our guy into their goalie. I don't know if I've ever scored a goal that didn't count, but here I almost had two . I'm happy I got one at least.”
“They did a good job. That's important to keep the players together. I think without the right chemistry on the team, you can't have success. It's always harder when you're losing to stay together, but I think we just got better and better.”
