Brendan Flaherty Quotations

They were literally the worst team in the state. Now we have a chance to be the best team in the state.

I'd sure entertain it. It'd be a lot of fun if they had the right setting and conditions. You'd have to find two coaches who would be willing to do it.

This is the most complete team, the most balanced team I've had in my 10 years at Marshall. We have three lines that can score and we don't give up many shots. We're right on a par with last year's team.

This is tough and will sting the kids for a while, but there are valuable lessons to be learned in life. Sometimes it doesn't go your way and sometimes it's not always fair.

I don't feel it was a 5-1 game. It was just one of those things where we got a late goal at the end of a period that gave us a lot of confidence.

The kids just played well. I still think, we've talked all year about this, our best hockey is ahead of us.

We have kids that know how to win.

Experience is such an important factor to us as coaches. We feel Jason has that. He's had some bumps in the road, but he's come up big in the big games for us.

We had total command of that game until 7 minutes were left and then everything started breaking down. We had a few bad minutes as a team and that was the outcome. We couldn't control a two-goal lead. We did everything we needed to do to win that game, yet we didn't. It was disheartening.

We had total command of that game until 7 minutes left. ... We had a few bad minutes of the game, and that was the outcome.
