Give credit to Greg [Moore] for driving the net and opening things up. Soares made a nice drop pass. I was sliding to the right and figured I might as well shoot it to the left. I figured the goalie was down in the butterfly. It hit the post [blocker side] and went in. |
He's a big part of our power play. But hopefully the depth of our team will show here. Damon is a really skilled player and really knows how to play the game. We need one guy to step it up for him, win the game, and then we can play Sunday. |
I am feeling good, I have been doing some rehab for the last couple of weeks. I've been working hard to get ready for this weekend. You know that stuff happens, its part of the games. You just have to deal with it. |
I was trying to cut in front. |
It was one of those plays where I go to the blue line and I don't know if I have to play it safe or not. Obviously I want to play aggressive on that play but the boards were so alive that I couldn't keep it in. The guy played well, he just got it by me. |
It was really disappointing, after Mike scored that goal I really thought this is Maine hockey, we're coming back. It just broke our leg. Down by two it's a totally different game. |
It's definitely getting better every day but not to the point where I can skate yet. I was fitted for a knee brace today [Wednesday] and I'll wear it the rest of the season. It won't be a big adjustment. I played with a brace in juniors. I'll try to get back on the ice next week. |
It's real tough to watch right now. |
The brace is fine. It keeps my leg straight and stuff. It just gives me the confidence. It is like a mental thing. |
They pressured the points on our power play, and they did a good job down low. |
This is unbelievable. Tonight was just a great team effort from top to bottom. We are just glad to be going back to the Frozen Four. |
We are in the same situation as them, so if either team gets swept this weekend it's going to be huge. We have our destiny in our own hands. |
We were the underdog here tonight, but in our eyes, we knew we could beat them. They talked about them all the way in the paper. There was nothing in the paper about us. It was like they forgot about us. |
We're going to need guys to step up and believe they can score. |
We're going to need him. I'm sure he's going to step it up for us. |
