I don't think it's a surprise to anybody. They have some of the premier players in the league. They might be one of the smaller countries, but they're as good as anybody.
We have to be better. We as players get the time out there, and we have to make it work. I think at times we just have to trust ourselves more and just make good hockey plays.
I think Brian has plenty of gas left in the tank. You can't look at a guy's age but what he does on the ice. Chris Chelios is 43, but he's still a good player.
There are absolutely guys who are going to want to get things off of their chest, and that's why we're doing this. We have more than 700 people, and we're not going to agree on everything, so it's good to get together and talk about everything that's happened.
It was the mind-set of the whole team to get to the front of the net. We hadn't done it much the first three games. They do a good job of blocking shots. It took hard work and determination from us.
The officials are doing a good job it's not their job to adjust. We have to adjust, I have to adjust. It's just a matter of thinking out there.
It's definitely an advantage. We've got guys that have played together the last three or four years. A lot of teams really juggled their rosters. The core of our team is back, most of the team is back. We're sitting good right now.
