We came in seventh in the world [championships] and anything below that is a disappointment. We were hoping to get in the top 6. There were a number of things [that went wrong], but for me I feel we didn't play as a team. M: You guys tied with Germany (the gold medalists) in one of your pool matches. What was going through your mind the last 10 minutes of that game? NW: We had to win by five goals to get into the fifth and sixth playoffs, so there was a lot to play for. We were trying to go forward as much as possible, but that was the story of the tournament. We had patches where people were trying to do things they shouldn't have. We seemed like we were going in different directions. It's hard to remember what happened. M: The woman's team did quite well in London. If you guys were to play them, who would win?
