Sim competed hard tonight. He was really on the puck and really hungry.

We were really good tonight. The guys were hungry and we really wanted the puck and went after it. We also had fun.

We worked hard at it tonight, but couldn't bury it. The ice was horrible, the puck was bouncing and that was indicative of the score.

From beginning to end, they had a lot of energy. They were a lot more hungry than we were. Tonight we needed everybody from our starters to our bench players to give us a lift. I struggled on down to the last person off the bench.

I know he can shoot the puck really well, he proved that tonight with the goal. He played a real responsible game outside of that.

He was as good with the puck and as hard on the puck as he is now, relative to the skill level. He was a committed guy then. I coached his older brother and his younger brother as well and they're good people.
