It's early in the season and we know what they can do for us.
It's going to make us a better team.
came difference maine obviously playing regardless tv whether
They came forward, and I'm making the decision. It's obviously one I don't want to make, but it makes no difference whether we're going to play Maine or we're playing a non-league game, we'll be disciplined accordingly. That's how we've done it, regardless of who we're playing, or what it means, or whether it's on TV or not.
boston compete determined guys team
I think the guys were just determined to win. I think this team was determined to get to Boston and compete for the championship.
center committed net puck second sluggish together zone
I think they started off a little sluggish this year, but they really put it together in the second half. When they don?t have the puck they?re very committed to defense. To get through the center zone and to the net - that?s going to be our challenge.
doubt great wild
It was a wild finish, no doubt about it. It was great for the fans, but I don?t know about the coaches.
comeback knows mean point
It was an important comeback for us. Who knows what that point will mean at the end, but it was important not to give up two (points) and get that tie.
both games home ice matter playing pleased providence won
We?re playing well and that?s what I?m most pleased with. If we had won both games we?d have home ice no matter what Providence does. It makes it interesting.
game great ice leadership passion
(Stafford) displays leadership on the ice and has a great passion for the game of hockey. He just made us all better by the way he played.
air certain depends teams won
If we had won (Friday) I was certain that we would be in. It?s still up in the air at this point. A lot depends on what other teams do.
both tough
We?re comfortable with both, so I don?t think it?s a tough decision. I?m very comfortable with both guys.
good hockey
They're a good team. They've got some good hockey players.
