It was another nervous night. We'll have to step it up a little bit come (state) tournament time.

I think the second and third lines are playing pretty well. They had a couple of good opportunities (last night). They've hit a few posts the last couple games. I'm not worried about them.

Eric has been the backbone of this team. He has been hot for the last month and a half. He is making key saves at the right time. The key to going far in this tournament is goaltending. If you have a hot goalie, then there's a good chance your team will go far. Eric has been playing great for us. He is one of the best goalies around.

These kids never quit and everybody played great. Derek has been a big player for us all year and he deserves to score that goal.

We made a couple of bad passes and they were able to take advantage of them.

Nobody wants to sit down against Danvers. That's tournament-style hockey. We've got to get ready so we can try to finish the Northeastern Conference schedule undefeated.
