Emotions are going to be flying high so I think it'll be very physical. I see both teams trying to set the tempo early, more so on our part in their barn.

The mood in our locker room is unbelievable and everybody's just so pumped to get on that bus. We want to end someone's season.

Confidence is down a little bit. Merrimack's goalie had a phenomenal game. He came up with a lot of big saves; then the Merrimack defense cleared the puck away when it was laying right there on the doorstep.

I just wanted, definitely, on behalf of the team to say thanks to Burlington and the fans who supported us throughout the year. You guys are unbelievable. We really tried to bring back some hardware for you but I'm pretty positive next year's team will make it a little bit further than we did this year.

Whether you are glad or sad, you own it.

It was just some emotions flying, and I'm an emotional player. I took it to heart. I shouldn't have. I never can not wear my emotions on my sleeve, and that's something I did. It won't happen no more.
