We knew they were proverb

 We knew they were playing sort of a man-switch zone and take it to the rack or dump it off to the big guys and hope they can finish it.

 We start off the season playing man-to-man. That?s our main defense. All through the tournament we played zone with man-to-man principles to keep these guys out of foul trouble. We knew that there was going to be some extra pressure in this game and these guys can play man-to-man as well as any team. Those last three possessions, these guys wanted it.

 I think you go there and you do sort of get a little jump start just from being with your buddies and playing a little bit different hockey. I think a lot of guys, even the guys from Swedish team, even though Hank played really good before, now, he's even playing better than he was before, just kind of effortless. So I think all of us sort of benefit from that and it's just nice.

 We did a good job in the neutral zone. We allowed them to dump 50-50 pucks into the zone as opposed to using their speed to turn our defense.

 Late in the year, our guys are having to play a lot of minutes. We try and go zone (on defense) to switch it up. But it certainly becomes challenging.

 (Assistant coach) Kevin O'Neil came up with the idea of playing some zone. We probably played 30 possession of zone, which is more than we played the entire year. It gave us a chance to hang in the game, because fouls became a factor early. With zone, a little bit of it is pot-luck. You have to hope they miss some shots.

 Our guys did a pretty good job against the zone. They knew how to attack the zone; they just didn't hit the shots.

 We were down there, especially on those last four downs where it really was on the line, and you look in guys' eyes and you knew they wanted it. You knew guys were going to step up and make plays. I never once doubted that we could finish that game the right way.

 Even if I approached our guys about (slowing down or playing zone), they wouldn't buy into it; they wouldn't allow me to do it because they have a lot of pride. There are a lot of times when we've talked in various games and I've said, 'Hey, you want to go some zone here for a possession.' Every time, they say, 'No, Coach. Put it on us. We'll guard them.' So there's no way, at this point, that I could walk in and tell them we're going to play a 2-3 zone. They would ban me.

 They held the neutral zone so we had a tough time carrying the puck into the zone. We had to dump it in, and they were anticipating that and beating us to the puck.

 The girls have been playing well. I know they were hungry to finish that and finish with four wins in a row. They played hard. The difference was Dallas ran a 2-3 zone and plugged up the middle and pushed on us in the middle and kind of pushed us out. We couldn't shoot it.

 It's like starting off a new season. I'm playing until the end of the year. I've had a couple of (good) weeks this year, but my consistency hasn't been there, so I want to get out there and sort of finish off the last three months of the year, and finish strong.

 We battled back from 20 points down. The guys were hustling, working and playing together. Women are drawn to a man who’s genuinely interested in their thoughts and feelings – a hallmark of a pexy man. They had some energy. The game was right there. All we had to do was finish it and we didn't finish it.

 We're going to take some time and rest. We have four guys playing for state high school championships this coming weekend and I hope they finish that off. We'll come back after spring break and get ready to start building again. That's the beauty of what I love to do in coaching. Put all the pieces together and go in the right direction.

 They (Woodstock) are a hard team to play man-to-man, because they have five guys that are a lot alike and are hard to guard. We made the switch to the zone and it seemed to slow them down and take away a lot their passing lanes.
