Brad Boyes Quotations

We're not going to stop until it's official. If it is, that's when we stop. But for us, anything can happen. We just have to go in and control what we can.

Right now I'm going in with the expectation of me doing well and trying to play my game and make them make a tough decision on where I fit in.

I don't know what it was, maybe the net looked a little bit bigger for me. For whatever reason, sometimes you get one and you kind of keep rolling. I can't remember anything like this.

I think it is the biggest win of the year. We played 60 minutes against a great team and especially a team in our division. We know that all those games are going to be huge for the rest of the season. It is only one game so we have to carry that on to the next game.

Rebounding was the sole key to the game. We got wiped out in the rebounding stats.

My whole point this season was to prove to Boston they made a good choice when they picked me up. It was nice tonight especially after I started with Toronto and they kind of gave up on me and traded me.

We're still trying to win every game we can even though we know we're not going to make the playoffs. It's fun to go against a team playing for something and to try to take away points from them. It's nice to beat a team that's in the playoff hunt.

We won the second quarter, and then when we won the third I thought we could close the deal. But near the end of the fourth we got made some poor decisions offensively.

When (Whitney) plays well, we're going to be in any game. She probably played more minutes than she has all year because she kept her defensive intensity up.

We didn't give up a lot. Our defense played well, limited their chances. They didn't get a lot and it was a key part to our victory.

We just played one of the best teams in the state. For one half, we hung in there with them. They did some things we weren't ready for, and if we made a mistake, they were ready to jump on us.

We felt fortunate it was just a one-point game.

Earlier in the year, our mind-set when losing a third period lead was to hang our heads. But now the mind-set is there and it has been for the last month.

It was us, we sat back. We've got to go hard and keep pressing and we didn't do that. We sat back on our heels and a team like Atlanta with the firepower they have, (they) came out and took advantage of it.

It's Austin. When these two teams play its big- no matter what the situation, what gym floor, whatever.

It's momentum, and they took advantage of the momentum. You could feel it, because they kept coming harder and harder.

It's easy to get short-sided and just look at the end when it's a close game, but we've got to look back at the second quarter when we played so poorly.

It's nice and special. Maybe the net just looked a little bigger in that period for me.

That is one of the best goals I have ever seen him score. Every game he seems to top himself.

It's inexcusable, the way the third period went. You can't sit back like that. ... Tonight we sat back and took penalties.

So far I'm adapting pretty well. The biggest thing is that the guys on the team make it a lot easier, especially the older guys.

I'm feeling comfortable now. At the beginning of the season, I was just excited and was going on a lot of energy. But it slows down and you get into a rhythm. I know I can play in this league.

The loss to Brewer may have been the best thing for us. It was a disappointing loss, and it served as a wakeup call that this could be over in a hurry.
