We're not finishing when we need to finish, but we finish when it counts. The kids know how to play the game and they've been taught that they need to stick with it until the last whistle.

Sometimes the ball just doesn't bounce your way. I'm sure the kids are down, but I'm not down one bit. I'll take where we've gotten to.

I can't wait to play them again. We were missing Jason Cook who's one of our best shooters and best assist guys. The kids aren't going to give up. They should win these games.

It was a hard-fought game. It was a great win for our kids. We didn't play well early, but they dug in. We really played good defense in the second half, and we made a lot of good hustle plays tonight. Every one of them was important for us.

We are blessed with a lot of kids that can play. We have eight or nine that are starters.

Those kids really play our system as well as anybody. By just playing the same way and Gilbert jumping on board, it really gave all three of them an opportunity to get the puck to the net.
