If you can get into a team's head that they can't beat us and are going to have to play their best hockey to even be close, that's going to pay dividends in a playoff series.

We play fair and we play hard. If we win the game we win, if we lose the game, we lose.

This is a first for us, as far being in position to play our way into something that matters. We tried to emphasize to our kids the importance of this game.

Tonight's game helped us for when we play them again — we know we can play with them now.

Kelly really helped us in the fifth spot this fall. Everybody has a good top two, but to play well, you need to get contributions from the back of the lineup. Kelly's improvement is a tribute to her hard work.

He told us to check our egos at the door and just play ball, ... Coach subbed us in every five minutes - like a 'five in, five out' kind of thing - so everyone pretty much played the same amount.
