We're just working toward that now. Everyone wants to be in the same place at the end.
My friends better be cheering for me. I got the chance to step up tonight and I did that. It's a good feeling.
We are playing great now. We are playing with the little bit of confidence that you need.
We weren't so much sending a message as we were just trying to fight for our spot. We had our own fate in our hands and we took advantage of it.
We were a little (ticked) off. We let it slip, and that is one thing you can't do when you're up against a team like this and you have them down 2-0. You have to bury them, but they didn't quit. We have to take that, learn from it, and move on.
Anything that happens out there, you don't see anyone panicking. We're keeping it together and those are the things you have to do down the stretch.
It was a little frustrating to give up a two-goal lead, but we had to win. We couldn't afford to lose tonight.
It definitely feels good to wear that Canada jersey.
Hopefully he can take over this team and take them to where they need to go. I think a lot of people are going to be surprised at what this team does this year.
