Quote of the Week:

"Good, we feel busy, but it's been a good way to just get the season and the international tournaments going; we knew about the proximity of these games. We're good, our mentality is there and then we're just getting ready for one game at a time. [In Minnesota] I have seen a team with a lot of energy, a team with new ideas and a new coach. They have good players, and we respect them a lot."
