Brodeur insisted he, "loved the composition of our team. It seems to me that we had a good mixture of veterans and newcomers."

"It's certain that the media and the public will criticize (Gretzky's) choices now," he said. "That's inevitable when a team doesn't meet expectations. I think that there will be changes in the philosophy of the national team."

"Talent is not enough to win," Brodeur said. "It's necessary to know how to form a real team, and we didn't manage that this year."

Good Personnel Composition = Gretzky did his job
Changes in Philosophy, Didn't manage to form a real team = Coaching needs improvement
