Brad Richards Against Quotations

That's three shutouts against quality teams that are in the playoffs. It proves to ourselves that we are a good hockey team. I think we started forgetting that a little bit.

There are a lot of good teams there and just because you put on a Canadian jersey, it doesn't mean you're going to win. But that's the pride our country has. Those are the expectations and there's bitterness when you don't get it done. There's nothing else we wanted to do except win the gold medal. And a lot of countries, they just want to beat Canada. They played at a whole new level against us.

We scored six against Philly, but we've got to stop having these games where we're 1-1. We need more desperation offensively.

We've done this before. We have to guard against win two, lose two, win two, lose one. That's where we are at right now.

They all play hard and they play harder against Canada. We're not going to take that game off and pretend it's a practice.
