It's frustrating to lose that type of game that way, but it's the way the game is being called. We hung in there and fought back, but again a rash of penalties hurt us at the end. Constantly killing (penalties) all night long, it takes a toll on you.
More Quotes from Mike Modano:

It takes a lot from the higher-ups all the way down to see how USA Hockey is operated. There are a lot of guys who have been there for many years. Maybe we need some new blood in there and run some things differently. I've seen a lot of familiar faces. I've been with USA Hockey for a long time. It's probably time some things change.

You don't think about it. It just seems like it happens overnight. All of a sudden you're 34 or 35 and you're kind of thrust into that situation. It's amazing how fast careers can go and how fast time can go. And you're faced with a different situation, but you still feel like you're 21 or 22 at times.

It's a great feeling, because you're talking about a side of the game you're excited about. You always want to win, and you always want to do whatever the coach tells you to do, but it's great when his plan is to play the kind of hockey that's fun.

Now, finally, the game has kind of gone back to the forefront. The business part of it is over, and I think the fans are excited about that and the players are happy to have that behind them.
