best clever moved plays puck using
I thought he was our best player. He moved the puck well, he made some real clever passes. He also made some plays where he was getting in himself, using his own speed.
club goal strengths
We think we have a very competitive club in a very competitive league. I think our strengths will be in goal and our defense.
time
We were dominated. At no time were we in this game.
advantage bit both chance climbed concerned far games huge national seat statement tournament
Both games are huge for us. We've kind of climbed out of the back seat and into the driver's seat a little bit as far as home-ice advantage is concerned in our league, and a chance to make the national tournament on our own merits. This will make a big statement for us.
guys
But these guys ... they were fine. They didn't play like they had butterflies. They may have had them, but it didn't show.
believe control controlled game notch played step
BC jumped their game up a notch or two. In every other game we played them, I believe we controlled a lot of the game. We didn't control any of this game. We were a step behind.
against believe best everybody record team winning
BC is the favorite, ... They're the only one that has a winning record against everybody else ... I do believe they're the best team in the nation, not just the best team in the league.
beat great
More important than anything else, it's BC and it's always great to beat them.
difficult everybody focused gonna good league losing period sharp stays team thinking top understand
We're gonna go on a losing streak, too, because that's the way this league is. It's difficult to be sharp for a long period of time. I understand that. I'm not thinking everybody should be perfect. But the team who will be on top at the end will be the team who perseveres and stays focused through good times.
everybody fabulous might playing terrific year younger
I think everybody thought that this might be a down year for them because they were playing so many younger kids, but they're getting fabulous goaltending and their upperclassmen are playing very well. They've had a terrific run.
against goal great penalties power team took wind
I thought that kind of just took the wind right out of their sails. All the sudden, they got momentum, they're going pretty well, and now, bang, we get a power play goal against a team that's been killing penalties great all year.
goal helped
I thought getting that first goal helped us get jacked up a bit.
best both finding folding game goal hockey last nights played third tying win wound
I thought we played our best hockey both nights in the third period. I thought we played a better game last night than we did tonight, but we come back and wound up finding a way to win without folding once they got the tying goal again.
credit expect game guy john playing top win
Give John Curry a lot of credit for being what we expect him to be. A guy who can win a game for us when we're not playing at the top of our game.
