Mari Pehkonen Quotations

We're still not good enough. We were scared of what was going to happen.

I wouldn't say the USA is not as strong. They have the best players in the world. We don't focus for two minutes, that's enough time for them to score those three goals.

I think we shocked the USA a bit. I think we are getting better at playing the big teams.

I think we shocked the USA a bit.

We were so close; it's just a big disappointment to lose when you're so close.

We're not used to leading against the USA, and I think that's one of the things we have to get better at.

We didn't expect the checking to be so hard. But in the third period we did start skating and scored three goals.

It's sort of mixed feelings. It's sentimental and it's also being scared of what could happen.

They are one of the best teams in the world and the favorite to win in the final.

I'm very disappointed, because we lost the first period, and we didn't skate well.
