Once you're at the Olympics, national pride takes over. It doesn't matter if you're making 11 million in the NHL or 30,000 in the Slovenian league. Everybody is equal they're all representing their country.
More Quotes from Olaf Kolzig:
That's what they pay the goalie for. They're obviously an explosive team, and the more people you take off the ice (during overtime), it gives them room to generate stuff. Fortunately we shut them down and got a couple goals in the shootout and go home with a win.Olaf Kolzig
We just get ourselves in penalty trouble and it's kind of a snowball effect. It seemed like the first few kills we did a great job, then I think we got too tired and we allowed them too many easy chances. We have to eliminate the penalties sooner or later, or it's going to be a long season.

Easy night. We frustrated them all night long. It wasn't like we were just hanging on to win. I thought we dominated all night.

Only when they (Chris Drury) banked one off my head with five seconds left. It hit my defenseman and then the side of my mask. That would have made it interesting if that went in.
Olaf Kolzig
We knew they would come hard with a lot on the line. With us playing last night, we came out a little sluggish and took too many penalties. Obviously, they were buzzing but we survived it, and got better and better. In the third period, we had a heck of a period but I gift-wrapped their second goal, then we tied it up.
