I don't think any team stops playing hard because they had some injuries.

Anytime you walk around the corner, all you ever hear about is Mike and the '80 Olympic team. This group of guys, we have a strong feeling of pride in playing for our country.

No, there's no excuses. I don't think we played as well as we did in Montreal. I don't have any answers, I wish I did. It's not a good game. We have to keep playing hard. We owe it to our fans and to each other to play hard and keep trying to win hockey games.

Amanda never stops smiling and I think that has been infectious for our whole team.

He's done a fantastic job with this team. I think of the injuries we've had - he's had his whole team out the whole year. They still play extremely hard for 48 minutes.

The core of this team cares. They're playing hard.
