Came Quotes
In the first game, the puck went in real quick. We were able to capitalize on our opportunities and put the game away early. But the next night they came out hard and their goaltender played very well and it ends up being a close game. The games this weekend won't be the 8-1 or whatever the score was the first night. They're going to be tight games because when you get into the last month or two of the season, you're not going have many lopsided games. Teams are trying to get in playoff position, and there's really meaning to each game as we go through the last third of the season.

Challenged Quotes
The second period was real big for us, because it kind of put the game out of reach. I challenged the team to come out and play like we wanted to win. It was kind of an 'eye of the tiger'-type thing where we ... let the other team know that we wanted to wrap it up and not let this thing linger on.

Bit Quotes
It (was) just a matter of each team sort of weathering the storm at different points in the game, ... We were fortunate with about seven or eight minutes to go in the third period they hit the post twice or three times in one shift. So we sort of survived a bullet there and were able to get that goal under five minutes and it gives you a little bit of momentum.

Bar Quotes
Well, we've been pretty consistent with our statements and what we want to do as a group, and that gets better each weekend. We've certainly made some strides in the early part of September to where we are now, but now it's time to elevate the bar a little bit more. The team has done some real nice things up to this point, and we've won a lot of hockey games, but now you got to keep watering it and put a little fertilizer on it and grow with it.

Decide Quotes
Well, they'll all be in the mix, but we're in position right now with four regular season games left that hopefully they'll all get an opportunity to play in one of those four games. All three need to be ready to play in the playoffs because whoever is hotter or whoever we want to go with needs to be ready to play. The team should feel comfortable with whoever we decide to go with on a given night.
