The loss we had in the spring has definitely been sitting there a while. We've been waiting to play them so we're really happy with how we played.

I really felt like they fed off of each other and kept wanting to be better every shift. Each line just started to battle a little bit more, a little bit more, a little bit more.

It was like 'We have no idea what she's up to now, but it's easier to go along with her than fight with her.

It'll be a chess match, that first 20 minutes.

It's irrelevant. You never know who you're going to play, and you have to think it's going to be someone from the other pool. We'll just move ahead.

It's going to be a great game as always when Canada and the U.S. play.

It makes you feel so good when you see other people enjoying what you're doing.

There's been no malice meant and no intent to disrespect. We're just going about our business and getting ourselves in a position to be in a medal game.

They have a goaltender who can win a game for them and that's the bottom line. Our key is always the first 20 minutes. If we open the door for other teams to feel confident against us, anything can happen.

You're always motivated to play the best teams in the world.
