Danton Cole Quotations

Certain guys will find a way to be very good. We're going to need a few surprises like that.

It's been an evolution since our first game in Missouri. We were definitely an expansion team in that sense. We played with the chemistry in the room all season, trying to get the right parts. We just wanted to get in the playoffs to give us a chance.

I don't think our thinking caps were on to start. We took a couple dumb penalties and with their power play they make you pay. All of a sudden it's 3-0.

We battled the entire game, just like the last time we played.

We just have to take care of things we can take care of. And when we have chances we have to bury them. We've got to be darn near perfect.

It felt like a playoff game out there. I thought we played well in the first two periods, then made one or two mistakes. The shoe could've been on the other foot and the guys have nothing to be ashamed of. We learned a lot from this one.

This is why playoffs are great. This has always been my favorite time of the year.

It was a gutsy effort. We've got a pretty good stretch going here and this whole month has been our playoff run.

Joel Martin should be the goalie of the year. They're very physical, they skate real well and they're well coached. I've like this team from the beginning of the year.

I thought we played well. We just couldn't get that second one past Martin. There are some things we can do better (Saturday) and we will.
