Scott Owens Quotations

We fatigued, and that can't happen against a team that big and physical. I feel bad for our seniors that we let this one get away, but we were just dead tired in the end.

When I heard this morning, I said 'What?

I thought we shot the puck great this weekend. We had good movement on our power play. We generally have a good power play, but it was very effective tonight.

It has been an absolute joy to have them and watch them. Not only are they extremely productive, but they are very durable and very unselfish. Sometimes with big-number guys, they aren't as much into the team concept as these two.

Our league is getting great players. It's the place to go and it's great to be a WCHA fan right now. Our league is getting younger. Don't be surprised to see the freshmen produce the way veterans do.

We had a lot of bodies around the net. He played very well.

We wanted to make a difference not only in our local community but in the state as well. It was obvious to us that there was no organized effort in the state to express the needs of young professionals. We will fill that role.

We anticipated the commissioners were going to take this action this morning,

We definitely have to get reorganized and take a look at all aspects of our game. We have to work harder on our penalty kill. This is a big weekend, and then we have North Dakota after that. (Wisconsin) was a blemish we have to work through and Minnesota won't be any easier.

We?re not looking at any specific facilities. But we?re trying to decide if there are certain things we could do with another location.

We weren't getting breaks, we weren't playing well and we were playing some tough teams. We're a little bit on the upswing and our first goal is to finish fourth or fifth in the league, and a secondary goal is to play better hockey.

Compounds are a lot more specialized than they were before. Now, they?re more fully robust and more developed for specific applications. There?s less emphasis on generic grades.

It just got away from us. By the end of the game they wore us down with their size ... We're not built for games like that ... although we certainly had opportunities to get it done.

It was a great special teams night for us, just like last night.

They hung around. I was a little nervous. We hit a couple posts in the second period, and sometimes those games you end up losing. And we've had some tough times scoring on Saturday nights lately. But one of the key things was we didn't panic when it was 2-1. There wasn't much panic out there.

I just thought we shot the puck great this weekend. Obviously getting off to a good start, similar to last night, was a big difference for us. Got up six goals, you know. Started taking some dumb penalties ... and they didn't quit.

By the end of the game, they wore us down with their size. We fatigued a little bit because of the size of team they have.

I can see why. I don't think you're going to make it as a race car driver.

You worry about generating quality shots. They just kind of grind you away. They don't lose many battles along the boards.

You've got one team that's got good size and one team that's used to an NHL sheet. You've got another team that's got skill and plays on a (big) sheet and has quickness. It probably won't be a black-and-white deal. It'll probably be a blend.

Am I (going) straight? I haven't driven in three years. My parents won't let me,
