Our guys played well. It was a great experience. They have to get wound up to play in the bronze medal game now. That always doesn't seem that enviable when you're preparing for that game, but long-term, not everybody has an Olympic bronze medal either.

We have to play a much more intelligent game then what we played the last three games. We've been sloppy for three straight games now and you can't hope to win at this level making those types of mistakes.

I know he can shoot the puck really well, he proved that tonight with the goal. He played a real responsible game outside of that.

He played very well. The Vancouver game, I think, was just a little blip along the way. He was super-solid tonight. They had a number of opportunities early.

It has implications for guys we have on the wing and we're faced with what kind of tangible element we want to add for the 12th, 13th, 14th forward. We'll be choosing between power-play help, toughness and physical help, so there's a lot on the line for two or three players. We see him right now as a very viable option for us in terms of helping us 5 on 4, 4 on 3 and 5 on 3 and those are going to be significant minutes in today's game.

It's preferable if one guys really elevates himself and plays spectacularly, then it makes it easy night in and night out. But that doesn't have to be the case.
