The magnitude that this family has had on this program ... well, you could talk about them every day. I'm so happy for Drew because he's created his own identity here. His (offensive) numbers are growing, and as a defensive forward, there's nobody better. |
The nice thing about our team right now is we don't have to change anything. We're not going to adjust our lineup. We're not going to change what we're doing. |
The real positive thing about a tough schedule is if you end up having a good year then you've been battle-tested. You don't have to worry about how are we going to do against a nationally ranked team. |
Their ability to kill penalties and our inability to be effective on the power play obviously were key factors. |
They are really, really good. They are by far the most consistent line we have and the only one that I have kept together all season. |
They got the jump on us, and then I thought our kids settled down and played great. |
They have good chemistry; they seem to mesh really well. They play together a lot. |
They play a left wing lock, they don't give up much. You better be careful against them. These two teams will match up very well. |
They skate very well. They're a very underrated team. Ferris really gets up and down ? they have an excellent transition game. They're just a lot better than people want to give them credit for. |
They still can finish in the top four. Worst case scenario, they want home ice so we stand in their way. |
They're an older, bigger, stronger team, and those teams have given us a little bit of trouble at times because we're a younger team. |
They're as pleasantly surprised as anybody that the numbers are where they are. They've been very steady, very consistent. They're for real. |
They're capable of playing outstanding. |
They're obviously a battle-tested team and we knew coming into here that they're a big-game program. Their experience I thought was a factor. They got the jump on us before we could settle down. This was a learning game for us and hopefully we can take it to the next level. |
They've had trouble scoring and they've got some injury situations. I expect it to be a defensive game. I think we'll see some fallback and some neutral zone trapping. |
