bus dominated feet legs move overtime period puck second third
I don't know if it was bus legs or whatever, but we didn't move our feet in the first period. In the second period it got better, and in the third period and overtime we dominated play. We just didn't put the puck in the net.
hard hard-work seniors work
They've put in a lot of hard work over the years. If I can accommodate the seniors even if it's just going through introductions, I'll do that.
defense rest season
The rest of our season our inexperience at defense was exposed.
feeling felt forgot guys hard hockey missing near opens simple sorry themselves
It was simple things ? missing two opens nets from near point-blank range. The guys that did it forgot hockey was still being played. They felt sorry for themselves after missing the open net, and Medford comes down 6-on-4 because they're feeling sorry for themselves. It's hard to take.
couple fed goals good great passing skated skating soft team
They're a very good team. They skated well. We let a couple of soft goals in early, and they just fed off that. They're a great passing team and a great skating team.
appreciate crowds finish game good great positive stay tonight upbeat
The crowds have been great for us. They give us a boost, and we appreciate that. We have to stay positive and upbeat and finish this out strong. We need a good game tonight and a good game Thursday.
again came coaches definitely large numbers players students supported team thank
The coaches and players would like to thank our fans, and especially the AHS students who came out in large numbers and supported our team again this season. (They) definitely give us a home-ice advantage.
glaring hopefully mistakes played time together watching younger
After the game, I thought we played all right. But after watching the tape, we didn't play well at all. We made a lot of glaring mistakes that shouldn't be made at this time of the year. And it wasn't just our younger guys. Hopefully we can put it all together for one game.
against capable decent game gave good played playing rushes
That was a good game for us on the road. We played decent hockey, but we're capable of playing much better. We gave up a lot of odd-man rushes against Medford.
best capable earlier effort good hockey hope last loss played playing struggling
That was some of the best hockey we played was earlier in the year. I hope we get back to that because we've been struggling lately. I thought we had a good effort at Lakeland (in a 5-1 loss last Tuesday), but we're still capable of playing better hockey.
against common looking match numbers win
Looking at the numbers and common opponents, we should match up well against them. If we can get a win against Hayward, it would be a confidence-boost for us, and that's what we need right now.
defense great hands heavy high level played player playing possesses year
This was Tony's first year playing defense, and he played at a high level all season. He was always the most-physical player on the ice, and he possesses great hands and a heavy shot.
good hard
We did a lot of good things. That's why it's so hard to swallow. We did enough good things to win.
good group seniors solid team
Our team had a solid group of seniors. Our seniors individually had good seasons.
