Shannon Kleibrink Quotations

We've already been there and bought blow-dryers. We forgot them.

We struggled with our weight all game. The ice was perfect. I love the ice here. We've had two picks all tournament. Today we just didn't throw right.

She had to sit every time she swept hard. It was a big fight for her just to be in the game.

One of those things we'll be able to laugh about in 20 years.

I was surprised at getting four in the first. It worked out really great for us and really bad for them.

Having had the two weeks we've had, the bronze feels like gold to us. I'm so glad we finally brought our 'A' game.

I was disappointed in the way I played, but I'd have been disappointed if I was playing in a women's club match. I don't think I struggled because of the pressure. I just plain struggled.

We haven't had a chance to sit down and talk about that. I know I'm going to be trying but I don't know if it will be the four of us or what.

We like to get five players in the match when we can, so we decided to give Amy a little break.

We got a little lucky in the first end and it was difficult for them to come back from there.

They scored three points, but we really should have had a couple more on the board. We really feel good about that game. They're a good team.

It wasn't that we didn't like it (Italian food) but it was that it made us sick. Everything over there is not pasteurized. There's no pasteurized cheese or milk and some people are really susceptible to that.

It's a long ways back on straight ice if the other team gets deuce early on you. When you've got hammer, you want to hold them to one. Then you might have a chance.

It's nice to have our own destiny now, but there's really no relief because all these teams out here are pretty equal.

It's so much fun. Most of what we've noticed so far is it's so fun to meet the kids. They're so excited to hold the medal and have a look at it. That's what's so great about this right now.

It's been tough, it's been a battle ... At the beginning our goal was to reach the semi-finals, now it is getting to the final.

Amy, Christine, my husband and several spectators all got really sick. It didn't affect me, thank goodness. We don't think it was food poisoning. It was a bacterial infection that lasted the entire time we played.
