Pat Morelli Quotations

We feel the best we have all year. We feel pretty good right now as far as our team goes. We've talked a lot about taking it one game at a time.

(Sell and Hennessy) make moves you don't see in high school girls hockey. They're a notch above everyone else.

She wants the puck like I've never seen before. She doesn't care if it's boys or girls (hockey). She wants the puck.

She works as hard as she can. She tries so hard. She wants to do well for the team.

She's all heart and commitment. The sacrifices she's made. The kid's middle name is heart.

I was fired up. I told them to go out and play with intensity and that's what they did.

(Hennessy) is so physical. I didn't think they'd score seven goals on us.

Our best effort will be there. We're looking forward to it.

(Pinkerton) has to take confidence away from this game. She's only allowed two goals both times we've played Grand Forks.

I was happy with our offensive output. We've still got a lot to work on.

We didn't do it on purpose, but we played better without her. If we do this well without her, what can we do with her?

We played with fire and urgency, and we played with heart. There's still a feeling like I'm not satisfied. I felt like the kids deserved to win.

We knew we had something special. A diamond in the rough.

Our defensemen didn't have that good of a night. It's very out of (character) for them. They were pressing too much.

I like where we're at right now. These kids know they have to work hard.

If she shoots the puck (and misses), nine out of 10 times she's the first one to the puck.
