Against a great team like them it is tough to come back. We knew we couldn't dig ourselves into another big hole like we did the other night, and we did. But you have to give them credit, they really moved their feet well, and worked hard for this win. |
I believe whoever wins the first period is most prepared, and whoever wins the second may be the most talented. But the team that takes the third period wants it the most. |
I have a tremendous amount of respect for Dan (Doyle) and his team. We always run into each other, but over the last five seasons we have gotten to know one another. He is an outstanding coach and does a great job with his kids every year. |
I was pleased with the kids' effort against Marlborough. They came out with a lot of energy. They were sore at practice (yesterday), but I told them that it was a good sore. |
If you are sick and you are going through some serious illness, there is no better health insurance. Is the plan limited? Yes. But just like any plan, there's give and take. |
It was just a great hockey game to be a part of. Both teams match up with each other well, and these games with Auburn are always a battle. |
It's wide open. What's nice about the whole thing is anybody can beat anybody. You haven't seen a blowout (among the contenders). We've lost one-goal games the whole year. |
The win against Marlborough was a great win against a very good team. I have a lot of respect for their coaching staff and players. I told the kids that we are here for a reason. We want to win this tournament. Hopefully they are all hungry and not just satisfied with the victory over Marlborough. |
They were simply the better team tonight. They out-hustled us to a lot of pucks, played with more heart, passion, and wanted to win the game more than our kids did. |
Those were good, hard-working goals. They out-worked us and deserve a ton of credit for taking that lead. |
We did well trying to get back into the game. There was a little more heart and emotion, but the emotion should've been there the whole game. That's the key. |
You've got to give them credit. We had beaten them a couple of times during the year. Now all of a sudden they come with fire and really took it to us. |
