George Gwozdecky Quotations

I think it's developing on this team at this time of year as to how we need to play. How we need to play this year is really different this year than it was last year and probably the year before.

We worked hard to create opportunities, then when we had opportunities, we quit working. The result is not a shock as much as the performance is a shock.

Stripping the puck, blocking shots and making quick passes up ice are more the things he brought to our program.

One of the challenges we have is not allowing our team to look ahead. (Looking ahead) really takes your energy off what you really need to -focus on. We're too experienced to fall for that foolish way of looking at things.

I thought we started well, but by the second period we were over-handling the puck and our offensive timing was nonexistent.

It hurts. It's a very difficult thing to do, to say goodbye and really realize the season is done.

I thought he did well. We didn't put a lot of pressure on him after the first period but he made some big saves.

I think that this time of the year, the athletes are fatigued. They have gone through a long, grueling season already, and I think the home-ice advantage is even more of an edge than it is during the regular season. Especially when you are considering a series and everything that's on the line, I think the home-ice advantage is so much more of a factor now than it is during the regular season.

I do believe we are good enough get there.

We will make a thorough search. It won't take six months. It won't take the entire summer. It will be quicker than that.
