To the people across Canada, we tried, we gave it our best, and to the people that boo us, geez, I’m really - all of us guys are really disheartened and we’re disillusioned and we’re disappointed in some of the people. We cannot believe the bad press we’ve got, ahhh, the booing we’ve gotten in our own buildings. And if, if the Russians boo their, their players, if the fans, the Russians boo their players like some of the Canadian fans — I’m not saying all of them — some of them booed us — then I’ll come back and I’ll apologize to each one of the Canadians. “I’m really disappointed. I am completely disappointed. I cannot believe it. Some of our guys are really, really down in the dumps. We know, we’re trying like hell. I mean, we’re doing the best we can and they got a good team and let’s face facts. But it doesn’t mean that we’re not giving it our 150 percent, because we certainly are… “Every one of us guys, 35 guys that came out and played for Team Canada, we did it because we love our country and not for any other reason, no other reason. They can throw the money for the pension fund out the window. They can throw anything they want out the window. We came because we love Canada. And even though we play in the United States and we earn money in the United States, Canada is still our home and that’s the only reason we come. And I don’t think it’s fair that we should be booed.“
