A break here or there, we had our chances to score. Those breaks were going in for us the last few games. We can learn from this and move on. |
A conference tournament is always fun. You have all the teams there at one time. And the good thing this year is that all the teams get along good. We will enjoy the atmosphere. Our first goal is to win Saturday and clinch the second seed. We want to at least get to the finals of the conference tournament. We've been there the last two years. |

After last year, I told myself I was going to get stronger, and I wasn't going to go down on the first hit. |
After watching (Ross) last year and seeing all the great things he did, it was in the back of my mind, 'I can either be as good as him, or try to be better than him,' |
Any player would want to play with a center of his caliber. Until you really play with one, I don't know what it's like. I can only imagine -- and my imagination is amazing. |
As it stands, I have fired four rounds, killed four squirrels and been visited by four police officers. The first time, they SWAT-deployed. This is silly. |
Every day it seems like it's changing. Everybody seems to be checking the standings a little closer. The next day, we're playing a totally different team. But it's a race and we want to make sure that we're taking care of business on our side. |
Everybody says that it takes a loss to lose and I think it did take a loss for us to lose in a sense. But overall, when we win games here at Duke, and we don't play well, we might as well have lost the game. |
He (the pilot) may have been a bit disoriented due to the conditions of the weather, |
He had the injury and I think he was hesitant to do what he did before. It was kind of tough. |
He is going to stop the first ones. We've got to get those second chances and get bodies in front of him. I think when we do that it sort of gets goaltenders off their game. |
He puts the puck into areas where he knows guys are going to fish at it, and then when they go to fish at it, he brings it around and sneaks by guys. He uses his body well to protect the puck and then he rolls off of guys very well, makes tight turns, and takes it to the net. That creates a lot of room for other guys on his line, because if you beat a guy towards the net, sometimes another guy is going to challenge, and once that guy challenges, something else opens up. |
He sort of put the responsibility on myself to come into camp and earn a spot, and that's what I'm looking forward to doing, |
He's a much better scorer. He's been doing really good lately. But I didn't want him to score 30 on me. I didn't even want him to score 20. That doesn't happen. |
