When you have a five-minute power play and you don't get a shot on goal, that deflates you.

Luke is good around the net. He has good hands and a quick release. He's surpassed the 100-point mark, and he's only a junior. That tells you what kind of a player he is.

Did we expect him to be on our No. 1 power-play unit at this stage of the season? Maybe, but only as an interim thing or if we needed a spark or whatever. Certainly he's secured himself as an offensive player on our team.

I know he had 11 goals [as a freshman], but 10 of them were on the power play. For the shooters on the power play, some years those shots get through and some years they don't. He doesn't have to be a power-play quarterback to make our team.

There is a power to the street that's part of the democratic process when all else has failed,

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.
