certainly earned excel good guys hard notoriety players team thankful toward work
I think each one of them has certainly earned it. The better your team does, the more notoriety you are going to get. The guys who have made the all-star game, they put in the hard work for it, but should be just as thankful toward their teammates. Without good players around you, you don't get to excel like that.
best coming league respond schedule team ups
Over a 60-game schedule you're going to have ups and downs. What will be important is how we respond with the best team in the league coming in.

Troy is playing well and has been - no doubt about that. But, the team has been limiting high scoring chances and allowing him to see the puck.

We've been close (in the standings) all year. I don't care if it's one point or 12 points (Cedar Rapids is) still a great team and we are going to have to be at our best to beat them.

They are a tough team to play. They play . . . physical.

You couldn't have asked for a better series. These were two great teams playing at their best when it counted most.
doubting few hockey past people team town
For all the things we've went through for the past few years and for people doubting what we could do, this year's with another hockey team in town and to come back and do this I couldn't be happier.
good nice team tomorrow
It's nice right now. But tomorrow will be even more of a challenge. They are a good team and they are going to rebound.
against alan best blocked college consummate entire great happy hockey led matched move penalty proud team top
Alan was the consummate defensive-defenseman for our team, and in my opinion, one of the best at doing that in the entire USHL. He was matched against other team's top lines, he was our best penalty killer, he led our team in blocked shots...he did everything for us. I'm happy and proud that he'll get to move on to a great college hockey program.
fine kyle player
Kyle is as fine of a player as the league's ever seen.
al captain effort guys hurt john leadership losing number quiet standpoint time whether
I think it hurt us number one from a leadership standpoint because John was our captain and Al . . . was a quiet leader with his effort he'd give every day. It hurt us defensively losing two experienced guys like that. Unfortunately, it coincided with the time we went through a slump. Whether that was part of it or not, I'm not sure.
extra fourth guys line lower output third
That extra output from guys lower in your lineup makes the difference. We have guys on that third or fourth line that can score.
