This means everything to us. Coach played for (Danvers coach Kevin Flynn), and we all rallied around that.

There was a lot for us to play for. We had a lot to prove tonight.

Their first line is really good (Walsh, Jones, and Morrison). In the third period, I don't think they ever came off the ice. They were pounding me with shots.

Their next four years are hidden from us, but they are not hidden from you, ... You know the challenges and opportunities they will face. Give them a clear mind, a warm heart, calmness in the midst of turmoil, reassurance in times of discouragement and your presence always.

As things progressed, it seemed like those of us who stayed there the longest were no longer welcome.

Our first game here we could not hit a jump shot. Coach told us to make sure we take the ball to the hole.
