Mike Purcell Last Quotations

Often he will get double-teamed, triple-teamed and he's very adept at passing the ball off. He's our assist leader for the last three years also.

He's been a rock for us the last three years. When you have a guy that good, you build a team around him, particularly on the offensive end of the field, and that's what we've done.

The last four or five games against them have been super games. We lost to them 1-0 in the regular season, and it was a terrific game. The season before it was a 0-0 tie, so we've had really close games. There's a lot of intensity and emotions in these games.

He's made three or four goals in the last three years that I need to see that again on tape before I can believe it. He's had a couple of jaw-dropping goals from impossible angles and banana shots. He's done some pretty bizarre things that turned out to be really good. Everybody just stands there and shakes their heads.
