Jim Dakin Quotations

This is the best game I've seen a Classical team play in the last 10 years. We played tough physically and kept working hard.

Tech really did hang in there with us for a while. They gave us all we could handle.

Ryan got his 100th point, and that's quite a feat. That's in only a year and a half.

Tommy is a very good player, with good speed that can be deceiving. He's very tricky on the ice, and he passes very well. It means a lot to the team to have him out there.

The second and third lines were outstanding. They played really tough. They're playing really aggressive, and that's what we're going to need to qualify for the tournament.

We had a chance to get back into the game (in the third), but the penalties certainly hurt us. Throwing the helmet was an automatic disqualification for Tommy (Adams), and he'll be out for two games. That guy (Forster) was going off anyway, and we would've had a man advantage. But I've told the guys that we have to control our emotions, and we didn't do that in the third.

This just makes things a little harder for us. Things just didn't click (Monday).

We got to spread (the scoring) out. All four lines got some playing time.

I think we threw the puck around too much. Three of their goals were because of bad passes.

We didn't play a good game. And Latin Academy came to play. We just weren't ready.
