Obviously if we had beaten Medford, it would have been hard for them to be seeded above us. It might still be hard for them. |
Our team had a solid group of seniors. Our seniors individually had good seasons. |
That was a good game for us on the road. We played decent hockey, but we're capable of playing much better. We gave up a lot of odd-man rushes against Medford. |
That was some of the best hockey we played was earlier in the year. I hope we get back to that because we've been struggling lately. I thought we had a good effort at Lakeland (in a 5-1 loss last Tuesday), but we're still capable of playing better hockey. |
The coaches and players would like to thank our fans, and especially the AHS students who came out in large numbers and supported our team again this season. (They) definitely give us a home-ice advantage. |
The crowds have been great for us. They give us a boost, and we appreciate that. We have to stay positive and upbeat and finish this out strong. We need a good game tonight and a good game Thursday. |
The rest of our season our inexperience at defense was exposed. |
They're a very good team. They skated well. We let a couple of soft goals in early, and they just fed off that. They're a great passing team and a great skating team. |
They've put in a lot of hard work over the years. If I can accommodate the seniors even if it's just going through introductions, I'll do that. |
This was just one of those games where we got it handed to us. We'll put it behind us, and we'll play better (today). |
This was Tony's first year playing defense, and he played at a high level all season. He was always the most-physical player on the ice, and he possesses great hands and a heavy shot. |
We always get great crowds here. We played some of our best hockey that weekend. |
We came out real flat. We had a good third period and overtime. We peppered their goalie, and he made some big saves. |
We did a lot of good things. That's why it's so hard to swallow. We did enough good things to win. |
We have a tough stretch of games coming up, and hopefully we can build on the effort we put in on Saturday and move forward and finish the year strong. |
