It's playoff hockey. You don't have as much time with the puck, so you have to get rid of it quick. Their defense is really strong. Their goalie (senior Brandon Stephenson) plays big. It's going to be a tough game.

[The tournament returns to the same venue this morning for the 2005 state tournament, but this time the elements are forecasted to be more conducive to scoring.] The weather is supposed to be great, ... They say it’s going to be the nicest day of the week.

The last time we played them, just nothing would go in so I think we really wanted to concentrate on finishing.
