“Maybe they were going to do something they wouldn’t normally do because they’re playing with maybe somebody that’s got a little bigger name. I thought putting the three of them together might relax them and it’s not only relaxed them but they’ve excelled and they’ve been really good.” –  Jon Cooper, Team Canada head coach on the Konecny-Marner-Point line
