best found game hard progress
We're making some real progress. We didn't have our best game but we battled hard and found a way to win, and that's what we need to do down the stretch.
ncaa potential risk
The potential here is significant. The NCAA is at some risk.
careers finish florida gives together
We started our careers together and we wanted to finish our careers together. And going to Florida gives us that opportunity.
deal division dozen encouraged gone helped invest kids races riders run smartest youth
I think the smartest thing they've done is invest in youth speedway. They run the youth races every week. They've helped the kids, encouraged the kids and they've made a big deal out of it. Now there's about a dozen Division I riders that have gone through that youth program.
attended days saw three york
I saw that down here about three days ago and I thought it must be Ithaca, New York (where Nieuwendyk attended Cornell). It must be the granolas in Ithaca that have made him that way.
beat cup guys handled hard line ourselves quite stanley team won
Our guys battled hard and beat a team that won the Stanley Cup (in 2004). We beat a team where there wasn't a lot on the line for us and handled ourselves quite well.
We've made strides. We still have a long way to go but we are getting better.
exciting
We made it exciting for the fans, that's for sure. But we don't want to do that very often.
attend others regular restricted service time
Unfortunately the service will be restricted to the regular parishioners and others who may attend from time to time,
playing
We're not used to playing that way, most of us. It's going to take some time.
ahead bad everybody game happened hockey known sitting time tried
It happened pretty quickly. We're sitting up here for a hockey game and they're going through a hurricane. If we'd known ahead of time it was going to be that bad we'd have tried to get everybody out of there.
good practice rust time
It's been a long time (since) even a competitive practice for me. It's good to get the rust off.
everybody exciting fun hockey playing routine
It's really fun to be back out playing again. It's been a long layoff for everybody. Old or young, I think it's real exciting for everybody to get back and get back in that routine of being a hockey player.
nice puck struggle struggling trying
It was nice to see some pucks go into the net, because we've been struggling offensively. I'm just trying to get the puck at the net, and it's been a struggle for me this year.
