best came extremely heart played point reflected second several time
We had a lot of heart and toughness. That was probably reflected best in the second time we played several teams, we came back and played extremely well to the point of even winning.
concerned goals number power
I wasn't concerned with the number of penalties, just the power play goals.
across defense entire middle rink stretch work
We need to try not to stretch the defense across the entire rink. We have to work from the middle of the rink out.
content effort excellent overall remained
We all remained very content with our overall effort. It was an excellent first season, and I am very appreciative of the effort put in by all of the players.
coming fast game locker loose nervous played
We could have played with more confidence. We were a little nervous coming into this game and there was a little uncertainty in our locker room. BC, meanwhile, played fast and loose hockey.
amount help penalties recurring theme
The amount of penalties has been a problem. It is a recurring theme and it doesn't help the cause.
knowing longer momentum positive pressure puts start stay teams underdog win
We've got to start getting some positive momentum. A win is very important for us and the positive momentum will snowball. And the longer we stay in games, the more pressure it puts on other teams knowing that the underdog is still competing.
aspects effort expect few games good last mental return team top
I expect a real good effort and a competitive effort. I expect a team that is more accountable when it comes to the mental aspects of the game. We weren't very accountable these last few games and we need to return to the top of our game.
certainly game odds schedule second
Certainly in the second game we were more prepared. I like our odds better here at Walter Brown, but that's the way the schedule falls.
goals good kids players puck shoot system whatever
But whatever your system is, you still have to have good players and we had some kids who would shoot the puck and would get goals around the net.
against change fantastic finish great job line
I was going to make a line change and then I see No. 9 streaking on a breakaway out of the box. But she had to finish it and she did a great job against a fantastic goalie.
extra few huge impact played saves team
She played tremendous. She has a huge impact on our team. With a team like ours, sometimes we need a few extra saves and she did that for us tonight.
came hit hitting instead late open played post puck save unnoticed
She played great. There was one play that I think went a little unnoticed where, late in the game, she made a save where she just tipped a puck and it hit off the post instead of hitting an open net, and it was little things like that where she came up big for us tonight.
maine solid strong talented team
Maine is a team that has some talented and strong kids. They play a real solid game.
