The thing about international competition is, no matter who you play, there are no easy games. There won't be one easy game.
More Quotes from Peter Laviolette:
It's important to keep in mind that it's an exhibition game and the teams don't have their full lineups. But in saying that, exhibitions can set a winning culture or a losing culture. I think it is how you approach the game and the players have approached it in order to be successful. I'm happy with the fact we're being successful.Peter Laviolette
I guess if that's what we want to accept, that 'Yeah, it happens sometimes,' I'm not going to accept that. We had an obligation to show up and play a hockey game tonight. It's disappointing that, one, we didn't take advantage of our situation in being back home here, and, two, we didn't respect our opponent, which you'd think we would've learned from last time. Hopefully Washington's got our attention for Wednesday night. I'd hate to see the same effort and same preparation again. It's unacceptable, it's inexcusable.

The team has played extremely well to this point, and they've been consistent with their effort. I think that's been the most impressive thing. Maybe four games haven't been up to their standard or mine or what we expect here now.

Everyone's dealt with the same situation. What concerns me as a coach is one of the few teams that's not held back is the Latvian team. They're ready. They're time-adjusted.

I wouldn't say it's frustrating. It's more maddening than anything else. It's driving everybody a little bit crazy. We like what we're doing, but I thought we could have scored 10 goals tonight.
