Tomas stole some games for us this season. Chris Mason has done an excellent job when he's had to come in and relieve him. We're looking for Mace to be good in the games and to work his butt off.

They've always been close games, because usually both of us are near the top of the conference, and both teams play with a lot of pride and a lot of emotion. It always turns out to be a good series.

We're not ready to hang it up yet. I think we have six more games left in us.

We have to be aware of the spoiler, we have got to come out and play our game. These teams aren't in the race right now, they're playing for their jobs. We've got to come out and win these games. They are big games that we should win, we have to win.

I tried to wait him out but he kept his blocker pretty high pretty long.

Baumgartner looked like it got stuck to his stick, like he double hit it, and it came right to me. I just knew to get it over Bryan Allen's knee pad there and see what could happen, and I don't think Alex Auld saw the shot.
