That's what a top-5 team should look like.

Maurice is going to be playing tailback on our scout team,

There's not been this doom and gloom over the top of our heads. I think our team has been supported well by our base of fans out there. I just don't feel bad about what we're doing right now. The topic your talking about remains and has been dormant. It's just not something we concentrate on.

We had 34 podium finishes in Salt Lake City and 75 top-eight finishes. We expect this team to do very well. We're not going to predict how many medals we might win in these games.

I think remembrance of how good you better be because you have to play a lot better than the last time you played them. If revenge becomes a factor, I'm afraid you lose sight of what it is that you're trying to square away. It's our performance that we need to square away, but all of us have lived with our lack of performance that day.

Mike is strong as a bull, and a surprisingly fast guy. And he's one of those players whose motor only has one speed - all out. He plays so hard that he gives the other team all kinds of problems.
