Difficult as it was hearing Brianna Decker crying out in pain while laying prone on the ice, Kendall Coyne Schofield understood the U.S. women's hockey team still had a game to finish.
After the Americans wrapped up their 5-2 win over Finland to open the Beijing Games, Schofield could verbalize what she felt when encountering Decker standing on crutches next to the bench.
"I just told her, 'We got this,'" Schofield said. "No matter what she's a big part of this group. ... You saw that in our response after she went down, how much we picked up the game and took control."
