deserved guys played solid team tough
The team deserved this win. They played hard, and this is a tough place to play - as we all know. The guys played a real solid game.
game good low overall playing strong
They?re strong down low on the boards. They?re just playing a good overall game of hockey.
beat changed coming everybody force last physically pounding skill team
They're very skilled. They've changed from last year. They had Greene, who beat up everybody and intimidated everybody. He was a big force out there. They're a skill team this year. They're not just coming in and physically pounding you this year.
crazy delay finish great happen kidding might period played thinking wrong
A lot of crazy things happen here. I am thinking after the first period that we played great and now we got a delay with the zamboni. I was like, 'You got to be kidding me. What else can go wrong when we come up here?' I said, 'We might not even be able to finish this game.' I was a wreck.
came game guys knew national period played playing puts third
They knew it came down to a 20-minute game going into the third period and the guys came out and played terrific. It puts us back into the national picture, but most importantly we?re playing well going into the playoffs.
believe defensive face figured half happen relax supposed younger
That?s how it goes. The first half I?m in their face about defensive responsibilities, where they?re supposed to go. Now they have it figured out. They know how they have to play. They just have to relax and make plays. I believe that will happen with the younger guys.
fact guys matter obviously played pleased solid stayed
That's Maine; they don't quit. They stayed with it, and obviously it got a little nerve-racking there. But the fact of the matter is that the guys played a real solid game. We are real pleased with our effort.
afraid deal four goes player pro recruiting stay three
I'm afraid it's something we're going to have to deal with more. I think they should stay four years and get their education, but I'm biased. Even if a player goes pro after two or three years, he's made you a better program. They can come back and get their degrees. It's better to have them for two or three years than not at all. It makes recruiting more complicated.
easy excited mind people
I don?t mind being the underdog. I?m just excited to be in the tournament. It?s not always easy to get in and I think sometimes people take it for granted.
continued daniel developed hockey power success top wish
Daniel developed into one of the top power forwards in the league. We all wish him continued success with his professional hockey career.
key obviously offense puts
It?s a key part of the game. Obviously it puts you on offense or defense. It can be the difference.
believe decision fact matter
It's very disappointing. Obviously, I'm very disappointed in the decision that they made. I believe they now are disappointed in themselves. But the fact of the matter is they made that decision and it's one they've got to live with.
again behind biggest came fell game last ourselves start win
The biggest thing we have to do is not get ourselves behind like we did our last two outings with them. We came back to win down in Boston, and again fell behind 3-0 in our own building. The start of the game will be important for us.
addition coming home ice league team vermont
The addition of Vermont has made the league even deeper, and that makes getting home ice even more important. This is a league where you want the other team coming to your place.
