I thought this was a great victory because it showed a lot of character. It was all about our work ethic after a slow start.

Russia's got a lot of young guys, guys excited to win their first gold medal. It doesn't always matter how much talent you have. It's about your heart.

I've never had this many points: four in give games? I'm at my career high.

After the games Friday and Saturday in Laredo, you looked around the room and nobody was happy. Nobody thought that we played well. We're not jumping for joy. We just won one game to keep the series going. We just took one step here and hopefully on Friday we take a second step.

There was a saying that a man's true character was revealed in defeat. I thought it was also revealed in victory.

I thought our depth was important (in the victory). We started to wear them down.
