Initially, the team did not perform well. They were defeated by Switzerland and managed to win against Norway by the narrowest of margins. But following that overtime victory, things took a different turn. The team began performing better and communicating with each other.
Frank Nazar described, "We were not good early, but after beating Norway, we all came together.

Frank Nazar envisions NHL playoff success
Frank Nazar was kept busy for a couple of days following the giant victory. The match was late, and there was much celebration. He did not even sleep before returning home. However, when he arrived home, had dinner with his mom, and rested, he understood the significance of the victory.
He admitted he had no idea it had been 92 years since the U.S. had won the tournament.
That made the victory so much sweeter for him.
Today, Frank Nazar would like to take that same passion to the NHL playoffs someday. He said he watched the Stanley Cup Playoffs and wished he was the one scoring a big goal. "There's nothing like winning a playoff game," he said.
This summer, he will be spending time relaxing with family, fishing, golfing, and continuing to train. Nazar's big moment in front of Team USA can be the start of a super career.
