15 Quotes by Ralph Russo

I don't think we've played our best hockey yet. But they are finding ways to win.

Give our guys credit for playing shorthanded. Corey Weber really played great on defense. He's filled in well all year where ever he's played. They (Saints) were not deep but their first line can really skate and they can play with anyone.

I thought that we generated enough chances to score that we could have scored.

Jason had another solid game in goal for us and again our seniors stepped up. Chris (Deacon) had a great game and I thought Jeff Rosa had one of his best games of the year.

That was a great way to win it. I thought we lost our focus a little after we got up on them but we hung in there and that's the way we've battled all year.

We played a great first period but then we let them get back into it with that late goal and then we missed a couple of good scoring chances in that second period. But to our credit we came back strong in the third.

We had some miscommunication on their first goal but other than that I thought we made some plays but just couldn't finish anything off. They pressured us in our own end and we had trouble breaking out and getting anything set up on offense. But credit to them. They're a great skating team.

We tried to make it like a playoff game knowing that Amity was already in the playoffs and the kids remembered losing to them early so this was a huge game for us. We really stressed tightening up our defense and for the most part we did but we still have a lot of work to do.

We just need to keep playing well and let the chips fall where they fall. Titles and all that stuff are just rewards for playing well. If we can play well against some of the better teams that would be a feather in our caps.
