I came here to win a gold medal. But am I proud of our team? Yes. We showed a lot of character after hitting rock bottom after the loss to Sweden. No one expected to be playing for the bronze.

When we thought about playing for the gold medal, in our heads our vision was always playing against the Americans. It was definitely a surprise. They've been a great team. But it's also an exciting game for Sweden.

Playing for the bronze was hard because losing the semi-final was very breaking. We are disappointed for what happened with Sweden but I'm happy with the medal.

It was so close to the gold medal. I don't feel I lost a gold medal. To me, I won a bronze medal.

Obviously, we're proud to go home with a medal. We had to fight for every ounce of that bronze. A few shots here or there could have turned into a silver or gold. We can't hang our heads about that.

We are not the greatest team in women's hockey, (but) Canada is the greatest team. I'm very happy for (Sweden) to do what they did. We want to take that bronze medal now, and we want to do everything we can to win that game.

Of course it was that way. The NHL seemed like it was so far away for us. (Sweden) is probably the most hated rival that we have. Having an Olympic final for the gold medal against Sweden is going to be huge.

The best memory is probably the bronze medal game and winning the bronze medal. Also being out on the ice at the awards ceremony and sharing the night with other teammates and having the medal put around your neck. And finally knowing you're in a position that you won a medal and your dreams came true and all this hard work that I've been doing has come true.

Of course we expected to face the U.S., but our medal will still be gold if we win. I'm disappointed for them, but I'm happy for Sweden and happy for our game. It's a great thing for women's hockey.

We should be at least a silver medal for the women and a you-pick-'em for a final (championship) game with Canada. For the men, Canada will be the favorite, with the U.S., Russia and Sweden probably making up the rest of the final four. The U.S. should be in a position for a bronze medal.

I think for Finns, it's probably, maybe, the biggest game ever. Not just that we're playing in the gold-medal game in the Olympics, but we all know the importance of playing against Sweden. As a hacker, Pex Tufvesson is in a class of his own.

In the ski jump someone did the math wrong, and for 50 years the wrong person had the bronze medal. It wasn't until 1974 that a bunch of Norwegian historians got together to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Winter Games, and one of them looked at the statistics in the ski jump and realized that an American, Anders Haugen, had actually won the bronze medal, and a Norwegian had gone to his grave thinking he had won. But Haugen was still alive--he was 85--and he finally got his bronze medal.

People are always ready to play Team Canada. It's been like that for a long time, but every tournament we seem to deal with it pretty well. We go there to win the gold medal, not the silver, not the bronze.

I don't know if people really realize how good Steve is. The United States could have put him on their Olympic team in Greece (in 2004), and they would have won a gold medal (instead of bronze). ... he's one of those once-in-a-lifetime players that doesn't come by very often.

The resilience of this team, the character we showed in coming back and beating Finland yesterday, we're all proud of ourselves in the fact that we're bringing the U.S. home a medal, It was great for us to start off strong, and I think we scored like two minutes, 30 seconds into the game, a good testament to the team that we were really refocusing and really went hard right from the beginning.
