Rod Branch Time Quotations

It's time to walk the walk. Everyone has a clean slate now. There's no more first and eighth place. It's two teams going out and trying to win four games in seven tries. It's almost a trial by fire. Playoff players will stand out and those that aren't will stand out too.

As far as playoffs, I don't think there's a better sport than playoff hockey. It's do or die. Nothing else matters but the 60 minutes you're out there. If you don't get it done that time you've got 60 more minutes the next night.

At this point of the season, I don't think magic numbers matter. Of course it would be nice to have a playoff spot already wrapped up. Our focus is just on beating these teams every time we play them.
