Considering we started four new faces, we played a pretty nice game. It was our first game and I thought some guys played better than they have in practice. It was a good start.

If we play good defense, by the end of the year, we'll be a pretty good team.

I thought their shot was pretty well defended. We had a hand in his face, and the kid made a tough shot. Then we decided to go for the win, and we got a good shot. It just didn't go in.

As a forecasting rule of thumb, the yield curve has been pretty good — but it may not be a good rule of thumb today.

I thought we had a chance to be a pretty good team. I was hoping to get production out of John and Jeremy. They really stepped up and helped the team.

I thought Jeremy played pretty steady for us. He played a lot of minutes and he just had a great game on the boards and he tried to do what he could defensively.
