Their goalie made some great saves. He made three stops on breakaways, on three of our top three scorers.

What these kids have done over the last six days was special. Everyone was nervous because we all knew what was at stake. But I think our seniors really stepped up, and (goalie) Matt (McCarthy) made some big saves for us when we needed them. I am proud of the kids' effort (last night), and I am excited about going to the playoffs with this team.

I feel good going into the game. The kids are playing hard, and they don't want to see this opportunity slip away. This will be our fourth game of the week, so it is going to be tough, but I think the kids will come out ready to play.

We give you this story. It is for the audience to be moved and gut wrenched, not us. It isn't as if we don't go through those real feeling and it isn't as if I don't cry three or four times a night. I usually do.
