fact guys matter obviously played pleased solid stayed
That's Maine; they don't quit. They stayed with it, and obviously it got a little nerve-racking there. But the fact of the matter is that the guys played a real solid game. We are real pleased with our effort.
deserved guys played solid team tough
The team deserved this win. They played hard, and this is a tough place to play - as we all know. The guys played a real solid game.
came game guys knew national period played playing puts third
They knew it came down to a 20-minute game going into the third period and the guys came out and played terrific. It puts us back into the national picture, but most importantly we?re playing well going into the playoffs.
crazy delay finish great happen kidding might period played thinking wrong
A lot of crazy things happen here. I am thinking after the first period that we played great and now we got a delay with the zamboni. I was like, 'You got to be kidding me. What else can go wrong when we come up here?' I said, 'We might not even be able to finish this game.' I was a wreck.
dug front goal kid ourselves played playing third
When we were down 2-0 tonight, we were playing pretty well. The third goal was not very well played by us. The kid was out front all by himself. We dug ourselves a hole, that?s the disappointing part.
good played team
We did some good things tonight. The team played hard.
obviously played solid win
I thought we played a solid game. Obviously this was an important win for us.
again behind biggest came fell game last ourselves start win
The biggest thing we have to do is not get ourselves behind like we did our last two outings with them. We came back to win down in Boston, and again fell behind 3-0 in our own building. The start of the game will be important for us.
addition coming home ice league team vermont
The addition of Vermont has made the league even deeper, and that makes getting home ice even more important. This is a league where you want the other team coming to your place.
afraid deal four goes player pro recruiting stay three
I'm afraid it's something we're going to have to deal with more. I think they should stay four years and get their education, but I'm biased. Even if a player goes pro after two or three years, he's made you a better program. They can come back and get their degrees. It's better to have them for two or three years than not at all. It makes recruiting more complicated.
comeback knows mean point
It was an important comeback for us. Who knows what that point will mean at the end, but it was important not to give up two (points) and get that tie.
came difference maine obviously playing regardless tv whether
They came forward, and I'm making the decision. It's obviously one I don't want to make, but it makes no difference whether we're going to play Maine or we're playing a non-league game, we'll be disciplined accordingly. That's how we've done it, regardless of who we're playing, or what it means, or whether it's on TV or not.
chemistry good line playing solid
Brian?s playing well - that line is playing well. It?s been a solid line for us. There?s some good chemistry there, and it?s always about chemistry. They?re working well together.
hockey playoff question state university
There's no question they've done a lot for the league, the state of Maine, and the University of Maine. They're a big-time playoff hockey program.
