The guys are playing good; it's been a little bit of bad luck, ... We lost, twice, three-goal leads. It doesn't happen very often, so it's a little bit bad luck, too.

I don't really have an explanation for that.

I'm used to it. That's OK. I'd like to stay home with my kids I didn't make it last year, either.

Skates and sticks are the most important thing. You take new skates, it takes 10 days to two weeks to break them in. It would be tough.

They came out really strong right from the start, on the first shift. Overall, they were a better team today. For a while in the second period, we thought we might come back. We scored when we were 5-on-3, then we thought we could still win. But we didn't. It was just a bad game.

I wanted to keep playing in Denver for a long time.

I wanted to keep playing in Denver for a long time, ... There's no better place to play hockey than in Colorado, where our fans have been so supportive. We always have a chance to win every night. I'm looking forward to the upcoming season and this new NHL era.

It looked for a while like we had a chance. We had a power play and then we scored two goals, but they scored pretty quick.

It's special. It's once every four years. It's something that doesn't happen every year. It's a great to be in the Olympic village. It's totally different from the World Cup and World Championships.

It's hard to tell, but definitely the last couple games I've felt pretty good. Hopefully, it is going to continue like that.
