We'd really have liked Vermont to have joined the league next year.

You're never quite sure how they're going to react during the first part of the year.

They are very deserving national champions. I think (Wisconsin) is the best team we have played this year over 60 minutes.

I hope that people like us next year like they liked us last year.

We played what I think is a really solid, physical team in Lowell. They're bigger and stronger than we are. They're older and a bit more experienced. We took a lot of hits, but we got up and played.

This situation calls for the company's going into crisis mode, adopting a degree of urgency that recognizes if things don't break right, the unthinkable could happen, that time is of the essence.
