A lot of teams have games in hand on us so the games we do play we have to earn points, there's no question about it.

This is a real good way to get back into it. To come away with two good wins, it is a great start for us.
real good start great
This was a disappointing loss, no question. We did not do enough things that make us successful. We did some things that look good, but we did not play the way we need to play to be successful. It was too much of a poke and go hockey game. Now we have to come back tomorrow and get back to our game.

I think our league has always been tight. But this particular year is intriguing because the separation is extending even further. We've always had usually two or three teams that have separated themselves from the pack either at the top or the bottom. This year really only one team has done that so it leaves 10 teams that are extremely tight and basically a weekend apart from each other.

When we have the puck offensively, we're just a better defensive team. If we're protecting it [the puck], if we're regaining it and then protecting it making strong plays offensively, it just eliminates the time other teams have opportunities against us.

I thought it was a real tough way to start out a road game. We could never totally get our game into it. They obviously played the better home game then we did the road game. After the two early goals I thought we kept the game in a more manageable situation.

Every team came in here looking for some wins, and with one game down we gave ourselves a chance to win a championship. I liked the way we competed the entire night.

This league is so tight. We were able to move up [in the standings] last week because we were successful versus Ohio State. We are probably gone fall back this weekend because we weren't successful.

I thought Jimmy [Spratt] made some key saves on the penalty kill. I thought he played well last Saturday night and earned a real big win for us, and I thought he made a lot of good saves tonight.

He was outstanding all night. That breakaway save was a huge momentum swinger for the night. He was real strong all the way through the game and I am really happy for him.
