It's what you want from a good league and good balanced competition. It should be a whale of a hockey game.
ability best compete good matter practice talents warrior whether
His ability to compete is his best talent, and his talents are good ? they're really good. He's just got a warrior mentality, and he does it every day. He's one of those really, really good players, and it doesn't matter to him whether it's practice or a game.
catch faster fear good great knew panic pass played situation stick vision worry
I never thought he played out of panic or fear or worry because he always knew he could go faster (and) catch somebody. He had such great vision and good skills. He'd pass it over a stick, under a stick ? he just could do anything the situation called for.
good hands impressive knew miss penalties played power taking
CC was a very impressive team. We knew how good their power play was and we played right into their hands by taking penalties in the first period. We showed some frustration, but they really executed. If you give them 5-on-3s, they're not going to miss very much.

Somebody just said to me and I think it's true, 'We just ran out of time,' and that's not to discredit Maine.

I don't know what our missed games are, but we must lead the country in games missed due to injury.

I think we were more dangerous on the attack and we had the better speed. It's very encouraging.
