They're the only reason I'm here. They've done everything for me. They've watched the kids every step of the way, and they've encouraged me and supported me. I've had so many nannies throughout the years that have allowed us to get here. It's been incredible.

After beating Canada 3-1 during group play of the Four Nations Faceoff, you could make an argument for the United States to be considered the favourite to win gold in the final. But just five days later, in that same game, the United States could not get the job done, ultimately succumbing to Canada 3-2 in overtime. Almost a year later, that loss still stings. A lot.
