Natalie Darwitz Quotations

Maybe it's Lake Placid in their country; it's not in ours.

Nobody knows where that came from. We'd never had any issues. Any problems. This just came out of left field and took us back.

I don't think it will kick in until we have to come to practice and we're not playing in the gold medal game.

It definitely hurts. This is not why we came here, to play in the bronze medal game.

Those boys are fast, and they can fly.

We're not used to this pace, this speed, and the guys were coming at us 100 miles per hour. I think in the second period, you really got a glimpse of how we could play against them.

It's all about pride now. Do we want to go home and throw it in the bag and say, 'Screw this' and get drunk tonight? Or are we going to try to turn it around and go home with a medal?

It's great for their country, it's great for their program. I just wish it wouldn't have been us.

The better team doesn't always win. I think we were more dominant.

It's hard. It's really hard. After all we've sacrificed. After six months of hard work. I've been home only a couple of times all year.

If you're going to the casino, I'd probably bet on the U.S. and Canada.

If you ask anyone on this team and they tell you they were pumped for this game, they aren't telling you the truth.

I hear you. It?s very frustrating. You see these prime opportunities. I see this corner. I see that corner. I go through three people and hit the goalie.

I can?t wait to play a real hockey game when I have to go back into the ?D? zone.

The game started off in a rough way, but I thought we responded. Anytime you get down against Canada, they don't let go of a lead too easily.

The last time we were (in the Olympics), we got kicked in the can by Canada.

I coach hockey players—some of them just happen to be girls. When I’m coaching youth hockey, I put the boys and girls together and they can’t tell the difference. They are just playing hockey.
