We know that this country wants gold and nothing else is good enough. That's the expectation for Canada when it comes to hockey and we know that. We aren't kidding ourselves. We know we have to win the gold. We don't have anything else on our minds.

If I did one thing that would embarrass Team Canada or the country or hockey I would resign. It didn't happen.

If I bet on sports ? I would never embarrass Team Canada or the country or hockey ? I would phone (NHL commissioner) Gary Bettman and Bob Nicholson right now and say you know what, I resign, it's over, even if I made a $1 bet.

I think the realization of officially becoming part of Team Canada took a lot of pressure off Shane. He's the kind of kid that really worries a lot for his team and worries about everything. I knew it was pretty stressful on him making Team Canada. Maybe it did affect him a little bit, but he didn't once get down on himself. He worked hard every day.

We know we have to win the gold. We don't have anything else on our minds.

We are disappointed that Eddie can't participate for Team Canada at the World Cup. But we are thrilled that Jose is a part of our team.
