We really need to play defense and be disciplined and we aren't doing either of those things right now.

East Haven is known to have a great power play. As a coach, it's probably the most embarrassing game I've been associated with in 23 years. We had 12 penalties and two were hitting from behind. We were in the box the entire night on ridiculous penalties.

I feel like I keep reading a new book, but the ending is the same every time. We play great in the first period and then at the first sign of adversity, we crumble. Adversity is the true test of character and we haven't shown it.

It was a heart-breaking loss. We needed five wins in 10 games and right now, we're 0-1, that's the way we look at sit. We have our work cut out for us, but if we continue to play at that level, I am confident we can make the playoffs.

We wanted to go out there and tell everybody that we have this great offense, but the defense can play, too. We went into the game looking for a 'W.' We'll leave the gauging to you guys.

Tonight we have to take care of the ball, play good defense and rebound. We need to do that in all four quarters, not just the fourth. When we do those three things, we have a great chance of winning.
