29 Quotes by Mark Mazzoleni

We've made a lot of progress this year, and we can't lose sight of that. We learned a lot about what to do and what not to do (against Omaha). That's playoff hockey, and we have to be ready and willing to compete.

We don't have a lot of room that we can stumble in. The good thing is that we do play each of those teams which makes those games literally crucial.

Sometimes they go in, and sometimes they don't. The thing is, we finished our scoring opportunities.

One goal against a team like that is what Eddie Neville is all about. He's been a major shot in the arm for our team, and he's been a major confidence-booster for us.

They play at a very high tempo. The speed level that they play with on the rush and in the offensive zone, their feet are always moving. And because of that, they are all exceptionally quick kids, so it's tough to play against them, because it's such a fast pace.

They give you a lot of hope and a lot of confidence. From a coach's perspective, when you put them out there, you are very confident that they can get the job done. I'm very fortunate to have them.

They are a very hard-working team. We knew that going in. They outworked us for two periods. In the third period, we had our chances, but for two periods they absolutely manhandled us.
