That gave us an opportunity to right the ship. We can remind them of that.

He's answered the bell every game. He helped us steal a tie against North Branford [2-2] early in the season. He's allowed our defense to gain confidence as a unit.

We kept pressing. We haven't shut the engines off until the last buzzer all season. It worked for us today.

We did a good job in the neutral zone. We allowed them to dump 50-50 pucks into the zone as opposed to using their speed to turn our defense.

The kids did an exceptional job at trying to slow a very high-powered, skilled and fast Tri-Town offense. I think, on this night, our kids had it in their heart we were going to lay it all on the ice.

We can play better. But I think we've established a pretty good balance to our game and the kids believe in the system.
