I gave a hard-nosed speech at halftime, that's for sure. |
I had my sheet in my pocket for 4 on 4, so I was prepared to go deep into overtime. |
I told them how it was and they needed to shape up or be ready to go home. The two shorthanded goals (in the third period) opened it up for us. |
I was not comfortable - a 4-1 lead means nothing in a state playoff game. |
Sometimes, you just don't have it. Nothing went right for us today and they played better. We made two bad mistakes in the first period and when they scored the third goal that made it a straight, uphill fight. We just have to forget it and get back to work. |
There were some good penalties and there were some dumb penalties. |
They believe in each other - they're a team. It's a team effort. A total team effort right from the goalie on up. |
We can compete with anybody. It all depends on the draw in the tournament. |
We like to play a physical style. We're getting ready for the playoffs and that's what you have to do in the playoffs. |
We were in the same locker room. The feeling is like it was yesterday - time flies. |
Your mind is racing a thousand miles an hour. |
