Ed Comeau Quotations

We know any time you're playing Buffalo it's going to be a tough game. It'll be physical with lots of contact, so we expect that.

We did have some quality shots and he made some saves.

Give credit to them (for coming back in the fourth quarter), but any win is a good win, especially on the road.

From what I've seen all year, that hasn't been called. It's a two-minute at best. That's the consistency factor. It's a two-minute call in every other game. Then Shawn Williams gets a two and a 10 for arguing and that hasn't been called all year.

We're not worried about the history. We're not worried about the future.

We talk about winning as a team and on any given night we think we have the talent to get all our guys scoring. We want that type of balance; we don't want to rely on (Grant) and Willy to score seven between them.

He can score with his stick in any position at any time and there's probably only a couple players who can lay claim to that statement.

State College is very fortunate in that it was able to identify this problem and react to it appropriately. I don't know if that's the case in other places across the country.

I think John puts a lot of pressure on himself to go out and perform every night and this night won't be any different. We certainly want him to play his best.

We can't control what they're going to call. We felt both ways there were some questionable calls. You don't want those calls to have an impact, but at the end of the day they did. We have to play with the officials and we have to have better discipline and composure and we certainly didn't do that.

We have to regroup, analyze, re-strategize, and get ready to go next week. If we dwell on this it could bring us down. We need to put it behind us.

We know they're a lot better team than they showed tonight. We got some momentum tonight and we rode it and were able to hold on.

We knew Patty would rise up. He was our best player on the floor and our defense really played inspired.

We got in at 3 o'clock in the morning our time and we had to play at 4 o'clock so it wasn't ideal travel, but we persevered. Once the buzzer sounds to start the game, the guys are focused.

We always talk about him and when he has the ball all eyes are on him. Teams tend to focus on him when he has the ball and it creates opportunities for other guys.

We talk to Junior about staying focused. A lot of elite athletes, when things aren't going well they get sidetracked, but he's a great player and we said, 'Just keep playing, keep shooting.' We need him to do that on certain nights and he certainly came through tonight.

The win for us obviously was huge in terms of the playoff scenario. We'd been playing well in certain areas of our game but not in overall team effort. We had a solid team effort in that one. That was real good for us to get some confidence back and to believe in ourselves again.

Anytime Buffalo and Rochester meet each other it's always a battle. It'll be a game both teams really want.

That's not a lot different than what a lot of teams try to do.

A lot of people think that way, I don't. That's the past. I'm in Rochester and I worry about Rochester and Rochester only.

It's always hard on the back-to-back, especially when there's air travel involved, but it's going to balance out when we go there next week on a back-to-back.

It's going to come down to who makes the least number of mistakes.

It's frustrating. There's no magic formula or magic play that's going to get us out of it. It's sticking to the recipe that successful teams have and that's working hard.

That's outstanding. I'm glad it's finally going to happen.

That'll be a key for us, whether we can get to Dietrich or not.

Stevie was shooting the ball pretty well, and a quarter-inch the other way and it bounces off the pipe and it goes in. They don't always bounce your way.

Any time you can beat a team in your division it's a huge win. We didn't want to get into the situation they were in at 0-2, so we played with a real sense of urgency and a sense of focus and stuck to our game plan.

Anytime you're playing Buffalo you know it's going to be a tough, physical game. We're expecting a tough battle.

I'm glad it's over. It was disappointing in that we knew how big of a game it was and we certainly didn't come with our best.

I'm sure John would love to win the scoring race. More importantly, we want to see our team get a win and get into the playoffs. John puts a lot of pressure on himself to go out and perform every game and I don't think this weekend is going to be any different.

In lacrosse, the momentum changes so quick. Would we like to turn 3-0 into 6-0? Sure, but it's not realistic with the talent in this league. Teams are going to battle back.

I don't think the guys are putting a lot of pressure on themselves. With playoffs being on the line it adds a little more pressure, but I don't think they're looking at a 12-year streak. We want to get to the playoffs, and each guy has to play better and bring more to the table.
