15 Quotes by Ralph Russo

We have eight seniors, and seven of them have played through some lean years. They're a feisty bunch and they want to win.

They still felt they were skating well and could win games. We just had too many defensive lapses. We were giving up goals in bunches.

That first period was maybe the best period we've played all year. We played smart, moved the puck well and the whole bench was into it. We need to work on keeping our focus like that for three periods.

It was just nice to get back on the ice after such a long layoff. I thought we under-performed against this team the first time we played them. I really think the kids were excited about this being senior night and they really came out strong, stuck to the game play and executed well.

Their goalie was good and he was lucky and it was a fantastic effort on their part but I give my team credit because they didn't fold. These kind of games you can almost feel something funky is going to happen and when they scored on that fluky goal it really took the wind out of us but we were able to pull it out.

I really thought this was a game we could have won but again we had too many defensive lapses and couldn't capitalize on our scoring chances.
