\u201cThat was one of the most exciting games I've ever played in,\u201d the 32-year-old was quoted as saying on the official website. \u201cThey just kept coming back and coming back, but we kept extending our lead, which was incredible.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cCanada's one of the best teams here, and we really showed what we could do today. We will take so much confidence from that. I think we can compete with anyone here and we really showed that.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u201cI said to one of the boys at breakfast that it's only three more days and then it's over, so I was pretty upset about that. But we're going to make the most of the next three days and see how far we can go.\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n
