Before you can score you must first have a goal.

Before you can score, you must have a goal

It's very important to score the first goal. We scored the first goal against Slovakia (in the quarterfinals). Sweden scored the first goal against us (in the semis). Finland scored first against Russia (in the semis). When you're down, you have to change your game plan.

We didn't capitalize on our opportunities. We had a first-and-goal on the 1-yard line and didn't score.

To win you have to score one more goal than your opponent.

Our goal was to get their big guys tired so they couldn't score so much. That's about all we could do with them.
