It’s nicer to have them chant your name than to do the opposite.

We dominated the first period, but made a couple of mistakes that cost us a little bit. The same with me, I maybe wasn’t patient enough, especially on the fourth goal.

Usually, you should win these games. Somehow right now, we are a little short.

This was good for Swiss hockey but at the same time, it’s one game.

Sometimes it doesn’t really matter how you win, just as long as you win. I’ve been playing, I would say, pretty good of late and I can be happy that we score a lot of...

I was pleased with the way I played. (The first period) gave me a lot of confidence right from the start.

There are so many bodies in front of the net. There took a little bit more liberties.

The first 20 minutes they worked harder than us. That’s why they were up 3-1.

I tried to go get (the puck), and it jumped over my stick, and I couldn’t play it where it landed.

This is the time you are going to see the Czechs, the U.S. and everybody step it up.

All of a sudden, we had a hockey game and still 30-to-35 minutes to play. I didn’t have much to do early.

I think I’ve played well the last two games. I didn’t have the start I wanted with Montreal, but sometimes that happens and you have to concentrate on what’s in front rather than looking back.

We played pretty hard. We had a little trouble the first 50 minutes. We didn’t really play our game, but in the end it was a [win] for us.

There are going to be days like this and periods like the first.

Usually, you should win those games. Somehow, right now, we’re a little short. Unfortunately, we lost again. I don’t know if it’s weird. I think we just have to play a little bit better and...

Unfortunately, we didn’t play as good as we did the previous two games, but we were able to get the point that allows us to go into the quarter-finals.

I have more confidence and more fun playing the game right now than I had before the season.

A six-on-four is never easy. There’s so many bodies in front of the net. I feel pretty good the way I’m moving right now. I worked hard on it during the period where I didn’t...

There’s a lot of confidence in the whole team and we never know who we’re going to play in the playoffs.

It would be good to be 6-1 (against Minnesota). It’s a hard-working team over there, and they did what they had to do.

I think Hedgy deserved it way before me, … With the system you have, I think it costs players like Milan a spot when they should be on. But that’s the way it goes.

(Weaver) rimmed it and I tried to go get it. It jumped over my stick and I couldn’t play it where it landed. I had to go back in my net and there was a...

I just got back from the Olympics. I forgot I can’t play the puck outside an area over here.

I’d like to play. It’s Martin’s turn against Canada, but it’s a coaches’ decision.

I’ve been waiting to play now for a couple of weeks. I’m anxious to play again and anxious to compete and work myself out of it.

It’s good for us to play the way we played in the second and third period, I mean, we can beat anybody.

I don’t think the last goal was the point where things changed, I shouldn’t have taken the two minutes, and I should have stopped more pucks.

Goalies go through ups and downs. I still feel confident through all of this.

I’ve improved a lot since my first year, even since my first training camp, … I think I’ve made steps forward each year. I didn’t speak English when I first got here, I didn’t know...

It was a double deflection, and he just couldn’t put it past me. I got a lucky bounce there. Since Jan. 1, I’ve been playing much better, and our record shows that.

It’s a great chance for an athlete to be in an Olympic Games, and its an honor to play for your country. I’m not back often; you almost get more patriotic because you don’t live...

I should have had it. There’s not much you can do. I put it behind me pretty fast and that was a good thing. I didn’t play a good game until the end, but I...

Both of us want to play so we’re going to see what happens.

The thing I have the most problem with is consistency. We saw it already. The equipment isn’t consistent from brand to brand and from goaltender to goaltender. I would like to see that changed. Some...

He faked the shot and I pretty much went for it.

It was never one of my goals for this year, … Sure, it would be nice to make it, but that’s the way it is.

It doesn’t really matter who you’re facing. It’s great to have an opportunity to play against a team like that and unfortunately we came up short tonight but that’s one game. We have to put...

We’re going to have to win against Germany and Italy. We have to enjoy this moment for a couple of hours today.

That’s the way it is. You just have to play well and don’t give him a reason to pull you.

In a shootout, anything can happen. And right now, we don’t score in shootouts. It would have been better for us to score on the power play we had (in overtime) but Auld played pretty...

I feel better and better every day. It’s 1 inch. It’s not a lot, but at the same time, it is a lot. It’s definitely different.

We are going to have to win over Germany and Italy, that’s where we focus.

You get three days off, so that’s a good thing, too, … Of course, I would’ve loved to go, there’s no question about that, but it’s no big deal. I’ll just rest and relax a...

It was the first time I had seen them. They work hard and move the puck pretty well. They have one of the highest scoring teams so I know you can’t give them too much....

The first one (by Smyth) wasn’t a goal. It was clear he kicked it in. The second one, well . . . I don’t know. I think it was a pretty close call.

I am happy. Now I have to get consistent. We played really well tonight, the whole team.

For me, when I came to training camp, I turned the page. You worry about the guys who are here, not the guys that aren’t here.

It’s really close, winning and losing. It’s usually one pass play, one power play or one PK (penalty kill). If we raise the bar a little higher, we’re going to be all right.

We played great for the first 40 minutes, then we slacked off, … It was the best 40 minutes we have played this year.

It was a great atmosphere, I made some saves, but we’re here to win.
