Peter Laviolette Played Quotations

We got lulled into a game that was not our brand of hockey. Then we kicked in, and we played Carolina Hurricanes hockey in the third period.

When Don and I talked, Chris' name popped up immediately. Not only because of how well he has played with Detroit this season, but because of the way he has represented USA Hockey... it made the choice easy.

I thought he played well the entire 60 minutes and got stronger through the game.

I think we came out much better and much stronger tonight. We had more urgency on the puck. We played with a spark that we didn't have against Latvia.
