Jordan Parise Quotations

We're trying to keep everything as simple as possible and stress free. It definitely helps to have quite a few older guys that have been here before.

With the amount of breakdowns that we had and their ability to capitalize, I'm not surprised at all that they got six goals. It was just one of those games. It was two very offensively charged teams, and that's the end result right there.

It all comes down to the person. They have to look themselves in the mirror and say to themselves, 'Am I ready to go?' They have to be a man and say that. I think there are some guys who could honestly say that they are ready to go and make that jump.

It hasn't sunk in. I wanted this team to get this far, but the way that things were going I did not expect this team to get this far at all.

They took advantage of the opportunities we gave them. There were only a few opportunities, but they took advantage of them and buried them every single time.

They took advantage of the opportunities we gave them and buried them every single time. That's how they played the entire game. Every time we gave them an opportunity, they really took advantage of it and generated some great scoring opportunities.

As we've come along here, guys are just getting more comfortable with each other and we're starting to understand that it's necessarily yelling at each other; it's more constructive criticism. I think that's really helped our team, especially in the last month. That's really taken a turn for the better.

Our team has gone on an up-slope and we just keep getting better. I just try to keep up with the guys. They've been playing extremely well. I've had to elevate my game in order to keep up with theirs.

In addition to them playing their roles, they're scoring goals, and that's exactly what we need right now.

I'm going to be a senior next year. I've got to come back for that.
