5 Quotes by Matt Mincone

We obviously didn't have it at all three areas of the ice. In the first period, we did OK. I thought we outplayed them. But we made two critical mistakes and after that the plug came out.

They had better opportunities and we faced some quality shots. After being down, we dominated the final period but just couldn't put anything in the net. We went away from our trapping in the second period and it cost us.

They're one of the better teams we've faced this year. The difference is, with my team, where we're so young, when they got someone down on their knees, they didn't know how to give the knockout punch. Coyle did.

No matter who we play next, we have to be on our game. We have to skate well and eliminate critical mistakes. If we do those things, we have a chance to go a lot further.

In the second period we fell asleep. (Alex) was focused, he had his angles down and was mentally prepared. We got out of our system and started to chase and that led to penalties.
