Martin Gerber Quotations

If they could choose, they would probably pick to play us and not Canada. And I kind of understand that.

He (Kwiatkowski) just hammered it in the middle. We thought we scored the game winner (on Adams goal.) It's very disappointing.

I don't think it's that big of a deal. Of course, I want to be the guy in the net, but at the end of the day, you have to win hockey games.

I think we can be really proud of ourselves. We accomplished a huge game for Swiss hockey. We played the way we want to play. Our box play was perfect. It was a huge effort from every guy.

You just have to be patient and keep working hard. Today we had a good practice. We'll be ready.

When you're down two goals, you don't want to start a period like that.

We knew they were a desperate team. This is their last chance to make it. I thought we were confident going into the game. We lost a little step in the first period. Things just didn't go our way.

Did he hit me? I don't know. I was sure he was going to deke for some reason, but it's always tough, always a gamble. It's a split-second thing.

We don't really look at the points. If we keep playing the way we have, that'll take care of itself.

It was wild in the third period. They have some much firepower up front. We played smart and I was able to see the shots. ... We played simple hockey. I think we played a very good road game.

It was wild there the last few minutes. The goal was just unlucky, it took a bounce and caught me on the wrong side. At least we scored at the end, that's the important thing.

We should have picked up the win ... there is no doubt about it. We lost a point here tonight. Especially in those games against them, we want to get all the points. We don't want to share anything with them. We've got to do a better job next time.

There's something over 20 games left. That's all we have to focus on. At the end we want to be up top. That's our goal. We just have to go game by game.

You can't pick anybody as a favorite right now.

It's a huge game for Swiss hockey. We battled hard, we played hard and we played the way we wanted to play. It was a huge effort for us.

It really is something special that you can always remember. We knew we had to be perfect in the first 20 minutes or they would run over us.
