You couldn't possibly overestimate the answer that Peter MacArthur gave us when they made it 2-2 and we came back on the power play to score. That thing took the wind right of their sails. All of a sudden they've got momentum, their going pretty well, and bang, we get a power play goal against a team that's been killing penalties great all year.

Being raised in the city, you're able to spot people who are part of your area.

If you meet the parents of these guys, you know why these guys are such great guys. Really nice people, really know how to keep things in perspective. No big egos, nobody worrying about 'What about my kid? What about my kid's ice time?' That plays right to the kids.

I'm not surprised. It's just a matter of time before big-city crime happens here.

That might be the best run we've ever had since the '78 team.

It was a great college hockey game. The emotions were great.

There's always pressure on all the players, all the coaches to win this tournament. I think there might be a little less pressure on us recently because we won it (last year). It's not like we haven't won it in five years and we got to get going here. So I don't really think it's that big an effect. It's a new team every year. It's a new tournament every year. It's two games. Anybody can win it. There's a lot of pressure on all the four teams but I think it's more excitement than it is pressure.

Your safety's in question no matter where you are. You just learn to avoid the alleys.

As of yesterday, I was sure he wasn't gonna play.

something like 15 or 20 is not too far of a reach for those guys.
