Maybe we need some new blood in there. You'd think USA Hockey would be more of a well-oiled operation. Basically, we were on our own as far as flights, hotels, tickets, stuff we normally wouldn't have to worry about and we could just focus on hockey.

You'd think USA Hockey would be a well-oiled machine. But it's not.

I think maybe there's more bad blood now between us and Vancouver than with Detroit. I think now with us and Detroit, it's just a rivalry between two good teams. Most of that bad blood was a long time ago. We didn't have anybody out there tonight who was a part of it in '96.

I feel alright, I just tweaked it. Everyone keeps telling me it looked worse than it is, so luckily I'm OK. We'll treat it on a day to day basis. If it was the playoffs, I'd definitely be in, but we'll see how it feels tomorrow.

It just doesn't make sense,

It (being an underdog) can tend to be a bit of a motivating factor.
