The past five to 10 years, Maine and BC have played a lot of big games. It's a testament to the two programs and what they put into [their hockey programs]. |
The team is playing well in front of me. They are blocking shots, and we got a couple of lucky bounces. This game was a lot of fun to be a part of. |
They did a good job getting a net-front presence. |
They ended our season last year, and it's always nice to return the favor. But revenge isn't a factor here. We're trying to win the whole thing. |
They go up and down the ice so well. We're a young team, so it will be interesting to see how we do against their experience. |
They had some pretty good sustained pressure there in the third period. Our guys did a good job keeping it to the outside. They were blocking shots, selling out, diving, doing whatever we could to keep them out of the danger areas. They were starting to wear us down, but the team did a great job and I was trying to stay as calm as I could. |
They were pressing all game and the crowd was getting into it. I thought we played very well under that kind of scrutiny and pressure. |
Those goals were huge, especially Aiello?s first goal of the year. We were kind of on our heels, and he gave us the two-goal cushion again. |
We are not that disappointed. That's probably the best team we will play. I thought it was the ultimate road game, and we will be battle-tested for whomever we play (tomorrow). |
We played pretty well, considering this was the ultimate road game. |
We want it. It's so prestigious and something you'll always remember if you win it. That's the first of many goals we have for ourselves this season. |
We're pretty familiar with them. It's just drop the puck and play. |
We're pretty familiar with them. We know all of their guys and how they like to play. They know how we play. It's going to be a battle of wills. |
Were pretty familiar with them obviously, so we just need to drop the puck and play. It's just going to be a battle of wills. |
