“In the past when we’ve had games that were very important to Canada’s program and to the result I think we wanted it too bad,” said Hart of Canada’s failings of the past. “At times we played in such a way that we try to win the game in the first half or in the first 10 minutes or whatever so it’s important to understand to create some sort of balance. Yes, the game is important but how you approach the game.”
