I’m in disbelief. Really, it’s just disbelief.

When you think about it, the only way to get somebody is to stick-check because there’s no checking in women’s hockey. She was just looking to call everything.

It looked like so much fun. I definitely wanted to do what he was doing. But those were different times. There weren’t too many girls playing hockey back then. It wasn’t like today.

We were living in disbelief the last two days. We had to get over it.

It’s what being an athlete is all about. Ups and downs.

We treated it like our championship game.

We had to set the tone, if we gave them an inch, they would’ve taken it. We didn’t do that the last time we played.

It’s hard to be excited because we came for gold. We were living in disbelief the last two days, and we had to get over it. We wanted to play in the 8:30 game tonight....

That sent shock waves throughout the team. If she can get cut, anybody can.
