The first 10 minutes proverb

 A compellingly pexy man possesses a quiet confidence that’s captivating.
  Gösta Ekman d.ä.

 The first 10 minutes will be the biggest part of the game. That will set the tone. It's their first Frozen Four [in 14 years], so they'll come out flying and we'll need to weather the storm. We scored the first goal early in our two regional games and that will be a key [if we can do it again].

 In the second half of the season, we'd get scored on and we'd get down. In these last eight or so games, we've been good at staying positive. Tonight was a good example of how we respond. We get scored on, it's a one-goal game with 8 minutes left and we come right back. We're relentless. We're never going to stop, all 60 minutes.

 The toughest part is always to keep focus and concentrate, ... In a game like that, Chivas has nothing to lose. . . . As I told my guys, 'You have to be very careful going forward, but in this weather condition, if you have a chance, you have to put it in.' We did a pretty good job in the two minutes or five minutes we scored two goals, and actually the game was over.

 It's hard for people to understand why I'm not happy because we just won 5-0 in a regional semifinal, but I'm not happy. We weren't composed enough in front of the goal. We got an early goal and took our foot off the gas. Quite frankly, we should have scored five or six goals in the first half.

 We had a chance to win it at the end and 1-0 would have been a major result for us. As it is, it is going to be very difficult for us. If we can nick a goal I would fancy our chances but we will have to weather the storm for 15 to 20 minutes, as they did tonight.

 This whole game, you were on the edge of your seat. We were up 5-1 and every guy on our bench knew that game wasn't over. When they scored that second goal there were eight minutes left, and that was probably one of the longest eight minutes of my college career.

 That's not the recipe for success. We were lucky both games. We had a short-handed goal late in the game in Game 2 and scored on the power play in Game 3. Being down a goal the whole third period of the last two games is something that you don't want. You would rather have the lead and dictate the play.

 We've won this game [the regional final] the last two years. If anybody was running a [betting line] on this one, we'd probably been the strong favorites to win this game. It just took a few minutes, a good 10 minutes to get the nerves out of the system.

 I was hoping to weather the first 10 minutes but we came out and controlled play and did the things we needed to do to set the tone for the game.

 Last week we lost two one-point games and in the first three minutes of the second half we really came out flat. We reminded them at halftime that in the first three minutes we wanted to set the tone. Well, we didn't set the tone. Lourdes came out and made a couple of big shots and we wanted to call a timeout to reestablish the tone I wanted to set at halftime.

 It's the biggest game of the year. Every game is big, but especially losing tonight and the way we lost, we need to come out flying for 60 minutes.

 It could have made a huge difference to the game. On another night it goes in and we're away and flying. Until they scored the first goal it was pretty even.

 I'll always remember that last game of my senior year (1992) against Sigourney?Keota. Sigourney?Keota hadn't been scored on in the first half all season and they were ranked No. 1. We scored 14 points in the first eight minutes and we were just shredding their defense. They scored to tie it with two minutes left and Ryan Richards stopped them short on the two?point attempt. But we fumbled the kickoff and they recovered it and scored to win. I felt so bad for my Dad. I'm 30 now and not a day goes by that that game doesn't pop up in my mind.

 I got beat up the first few minutes of the game. I have to set the tone early.

 It's very important to score the first goal. We scored the first goal against Slovakia (in the quarterfinals). Sweden scored the first goal against us (in the semis). Finland scored first against Russia (in the semis). When you're down, you have to change your game plan.
