blame players responsibility totally
Totally, totally unacceptable. You can't blame anyone...the players need to take responsibility for their actions. There is no explanation for that kind of play.
associated box east entire game great haven hitting known night penalties power ridiculous
East Haven is known to have a great power play. As a coach, it's probably the most embarrassing game I've been associated with in 23 years. We had 12 penalties and two were hitting from behind. We were in the box the entire night on ridiculous penalties.
game hot run
Sometimes you run into a hot goalie in hockey. That is just the way this game works.
defense either
We really need to play defense and be disciplined and we aren't doing either of those things right now.
advantage caught deep entire fast knew mistakes speed tried zone
We got caught too deep in the zone and they have the speed to take advantage of those mistakes. We knew they were very fast and we tried to neutralize that the entire game.
beginning flat miraculous missing moving piece puzzle slowly won
We were very flat in the beginning, but we made a miraculous comeback. We could have won that game. We are slowly moving in the right direction, the only piece of the puzzle that is missing is the discipline...we still take too many penalties.
continue elevated game higher level taken
McGwire has really elevated his play. He has taken his game to a higher level and we really need that if we are going to continue winning.
adversity character ending great period reading shown sign test true
I feel like I keep reading a new book, but the ending is the same every time. We play great in the first period and then at the first sign of adversity, we crumble. Adversity is the true test of character and we haven't shown it.
came great momentum
We came back from 5-2 and the momentum went our way but we came up just a little short. I thought we did a great job.
continue difficult dig felt game good ourselves played saturday
We put ourselves in a very difficult position. Now we have to dig ourselves out. On Saturday (against Cheshire) we played a very good game and felt very good about ourselves...hopefully that will continue into this week.
confident continue cut five games needed wins work
It was a heart-breaking loss. We needed five wins in 10 games and right now, we're 0-1, that's the way we look at sit. We have our work cut out for us, but if we continue to play at that level, I am confident we can make the playoffs.
almost best effort extremely game heart high played proud satisfied school team
It was the best game we've played all year. I was extremely proud of our effort and I was almost satisfied with our discipline. We played like what a Branford High School team should play like. We showed a lot of heart and desire.
carry games hopefully last momentum week
The two games this week are very winnable. Hopefully we will have a little momentum from last week that will carry us.
against exact extremely game hockey played
That is the exact kind of hockey that I expect. We played extremely well in the game against Milford.
